Safety, Health & Environment (SHE)
License to Operate
Safety comes first and always takes precedence over all other aspects of our business. We adhere to the highest safety standards in all work practices and ensure the protection of or people, our partners and our communities.
At CCM, each employee has a responsibility to make health, safety and environmental protection an integral part of all daily work. For this reason, we have incorporated throughout our entire operations a new mission to achieve “a world class SHE culture”. The mission is to “AIM Zero: zero incident, zero pollution and zero waste”. Programmes on operational safety, workplace safety and hygiene, environmental protection, health maintenance, product safety, and community outreach have been planned and implemented.
As a key industry player, we are at the forefront as participant and initiator of various initiatives, campaigns and efforts to promote SHE within the industry.
- Carbon Footprint
- Electricity and Fuel Consumption
- Waste Management
- Water Intake and Control Measures
To comply with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Group began its carbon management programme and carbon footprint reporting back in 2012. Under the IPCC initiative, we report our greenhouse gas emissions associated with key operations in our Polymers and Chemical Divisions. Our carbon footprint calculation covers the consumption of electricity, fossil fuels and natural gas throughout our operations.

Water is one of the key resources utilised within the Group’s operations and our product manufacturing process is dependent on this valuable resource. Nonetheless, we are continually striving to minimise water usage in our operations and throughout our supply chain in order to safeguard the environment, reduce costs and ensure a resilient future for our business. We acknowledge our responsibility to use and manage water sources efficiently and sustainably.

To promote the Group’s safety and health culture and ensure participation by all employees as well as to inculcate SHE ownership among all employees, we have established Health and Safety KPIs within our operations. Our goal is zero fatalities and we are committed to achieving this through the effective management of safety risks. The KPIs for SHE is based on the SHE Statistic pertaining to the Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) rate. The TRCF rate is the number of recordable incidents per million manhours of employees.

|---|---|---|---|
| No. of fatality cases | 0 | 0 | 0 |
