GOOD HEALTH & WELL-BEING
GOOD HEALTH & WELL-BEING
We value the safety and well-being of our employees, contractors, suppliers, business partners, and community members.
Albemarle has a robust set of safety standards, policies, and procedures at both the corporate and site level. We also have various programs in place to recognize and mitigate hazards (our SCAN program), our employees receive regular training in life-saving rules and we have a Special Event Management Plan. We monitor and report our safety performance and the results are part of the Annual Incentive Program for named executive officers and most of our global employees.
We continuously work toward zero injuries, process safety incidents, and environmental releases. By keeping our operations safe and minimizing emissions we also contribute to the well-being of communities around our sites.
GENDER EQUALTY
GENDER EQUALITY
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) are essential to our ability to effectively carry out our mission, and gender equality is an important element of that.
Gender equality is a fundamental and value-enhancing tenet that is critical to our company culture and decision-making practices. We continuously work to attract, hire, develop, and retain high-quality, diverse talent and provide the opportunity for success independent of gender.
We strive to ensure all our employees feel a sense of belonging, remain engaged, and are comfortable sharing their views and opinions. We aim to have a diverse workforce where all employees can reach their full potential in an inclusive environment while leveraging unique skills, backgrounds, and experiences to drive innovation in the marketplace. We commit to an equitable workplace where our employees have fair access to opportunities to achieve their career aspirations. We actively work to remove systemic barriers by challenging and responding to bias and discrimination within our workplace and in the communities where we work and live.
In 2020, we appointed a Vice President Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), who is responsible for the DE&I strategy. Gender equality is an important dimension of this strategy. Women-led Connect Groups, women talent development and unconscious bias training are examples of our approach and the contribution to SDG 5.
