Because we are conscious of the potential effects of our business operations on people and the environment, we make an effort to incorporate the idea of sustainable development into all of our endeavors and to advance the well-being of our workers, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. Our sustainability management is built on the initiatives managed by the Group Function HSSE and focuses on Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE). To oversee all HSSE-related matters and inquiries, each of the major Midland Tank Farm(Teppco) enterprises has a designated local HSSE manager.
A separate Team Sustainability within the Group Function HSSE pools all related activities and further develops them in close coordination with the operating units and the local HSSE managers. Sustainability issues are reported directly to the CEO via the Head of the Group Function HSSE.
Oil Capitol Storage began to create a thorough sustainability plan in order to continue to improve our sustainability performance and more strategically focus our efforts in the areas that are important to us. We employ a variety of tools and tactics to firmly ground the aforementioned six major strategic concerns in our international operations. Our HSSE Policy incorporates the pertinent principles to firmly establish responsibility for environmental and social issues at the highest level. We base the development of our internal policies and standards on the widely acknowledged responsible entrepreneurship concepts. Our Code of Conduct, which is applicable to all employees, serves as the foundation for this. Additional instruments include statistically tracking key performance metrics, implementing certified management systems, and conducting internal audits (Key Performance Indicators – KPIs).
We place a high value on maintaining and protecting our excellent reputation. We have created a number of policies and processes to protect it and guarantee proper, legal behavior. Our Code of Conduct, the Concerns and Reports Platform (CARE Platform), and the internal whistleblowing mechanism are just a few examples of crucial policies and tools. The Group Function Compliance’s responsibilities include identifying compliance issues, creating suitable compliance strategies, and putting them into action through doable steps like training. The emphasis is on themes connected to sanctions, competition law, and the prevention of corruption and bribery.
