HEALTH AND SAFETY

CIMPOR, the Portuguese cement sector leader, excels in setting new health and safety standards. Health and Safety are at the core of everything we do, from the daily routines established at each manufacturing plant to those employed in our customers' workplaces and the surrounding communities. We aim to run our business without harming people, creating a healthy, safe environment for our employees, suppliers, customers, partners, and communities. As such, we are committed to:.

• Implementing a Behavioural Safety Programme, seeking to enhance the company's internal Safety Culture;.
• Implementing methodologies/tools able to identify unsafe behaviours and risky conditions, promoting the involvement of all stakeholders in mitigating risks;.
• Integrating Occupational Health and Safety into the company's management system as a vehicle for the continuous improvement of operations and management of health risks or consequences.
  

At Cimpor, safety and environmental responsibility are fundamental pillars guiding our operations. Fully aware of our significant responsibility toward our employees, communities, and the environment, we remain consistently dedicated to ensuring a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment surrounding our production units.

Aligned with these principles, CIMPOR has recently published its Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP), reinforcing our unwavering commitment to proactively identifying and mitigating risks associated with industrial operations.

The MAPP constitutes an essential framework, representing the Cimpor Group’s commitment to community health and wellbeing, designed explicitly to prevent major accidents and minimize their potential impacts, thus ensuring comprehensive protection for people, assets, and the environment.

Through rigorous risk assessments, continuous training, robust preventive measures, and transparent communication with local communities and authorities, we uphold the highest international standards of industrial safety and environmental protection.

Our ultimate objective remains clear: to provide a safe workplace for our employees and positively contribute to the sustainable wellbeing of our communities.
