SearchA culture of safety and stewardship permeates everything we do because environment, health, safety, and security (EHSS) is as much of a core value to SABIC as business success.
Our EHSS has improved through a culture of excellence and employee empowerment, supported by five key functions: Health, Safety, and the Environment; Security; Process Risk Management; Product Stewardship; and Global Assurance. These teams strengthen EHSS around the world.
EHSS Governance & Operating Rhythm
Our leaders seek to inspire and empower employees. They do this by developing a strong, supportive culture in which EHSS is a core value.
Our EHSS Executive Council, headed by the CEO, monitors performance, establishes milestones, and reviews strategic programs. An EHSS Council, with EHSS leaders, coordinates programs, strengthens culture, and identifies areas of focus. Complimenting this work, a Product Stewardship Council advances knowledge and best practices.
Together, these councils support the daily work of EHSS functional teams.
