Building a culture of care – Zero accidents and a healthy workplace
At KANSAI HELIOS, the health, safety, and well-being of our employees and the community are paramount. It’s more than a commitment – it’s our unwavering promise.
Our Health & Safety Policy serves as a guide to help us achieve a hazard-free workplace, foster a culture of care, and ensure compliance. In accordance with this policy, the safety of our employees is our foremost concern, incorporated into every decision, with precise objectives and the ultimate objective of achieving zero workplace injuries.
In line with our KANSAI HELIOS sustainable development goals for 2030, we are committed to achieving a Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) equal to, or less than 1.5. Our safety focus extends beyond our employees to external contractors on-site, visitors, and partners.
At the forefront of our environmental endeavours, we proudly showcase our steadfast dedication to environmental stewardship. Nearly all our sites are certified under ISO 14001:2015, a testament to our dedication to environmental management systems. Our commitment is further reinforced by the fact that several of our group companies, including CWS POWDER COATINGS and KANSAI HELIOS Austria, proudly hold EMAS certification. Helios TBLUS is now offering several different products made from sustainable raw materials, that are certified with ISCC Plus certificate in all parts of the value chain back to the point of origin.
