From the first day of the company’s formation, leaders across Styron emphasized that EH&S performance was one of the top priorities in the company. Company leadership is highly engaged in EH&S activities, setting the right tone, maintaining high expectations and recognizing positive EH&S results. For example, each meeting of the Styron Leadership Team begins with a report on Responsible Care® performance. Senior leadership is actively involved in the reporting of and investigation of every reportable safety incident, as well as giving recognition awards for those work groups with excellent EH&S records.
- Styron executive leadership sets stretch targets each year for improving EH&S/Responsible Care® performance around three key metrics: Safety Incidents (injuries and illnesses), incidents of Loss of Primary Containment (spills and leaks) and Process Safety Incidents (including fires and explosions).
- These annual EH&S targets, along with financial targets, are established in January and are measured throughout the year and reported in quarterly updates to employees, as well as on Styron’s Intranet for employees. At year end, the results are used to calculate each employee’s variable pay or bonus. This ensures that EH&S performance is directly tied to every employee’s personal compensation.
