Ensure business continuity, environmental protection, and health & safety in emergency situations, in line with the key pillars of Metlen Health and Safety Policy and the Environmental Policy.
Existing positive effects
Managing emergencies and ensuring business continuity is a top priority for Metlen. That is why in all Business Sectors of the Company the appropriate Emergency Prevention and Response Plans are implemented aiming at the effective management of emergencies and situations, at all levels for the protection of the natural environment and social welfare at local and national level.
Potential negative effects
The possible inadequate treatment of relevant risks may create negative effects on employees, the local community, the natural environment but also on the smooth operation of the Company's activities and consequently on its reputation, as well as its financial results.
The low degree of response and preparedness to emergencies (fires, explosions, soil subsidence, release of chemicals into the environment, transportation of products, waste, natural hazards such as weather and seismic events, health and safety incidents and other risks) is a key risk for the Company.
In all Business Sectors of the Company, appropriate Emergency Prevention and Response Plans are implemented (fire, explosion, leaks, natural phenomena, extreme weather conditions, etc.), in order to effectively deal with all recognized incidents that result in deviation from their smooth operation, with serious consequences for the environment and the Health & Safety of employees and local communities in general.
