Dupont creates new category....Operational Excellence

DuPont opens safety awards to firms worldwide

DUBAI, December 3, 2014

DuPont, a leading chemical company, has opened its 2015 Safety and Sustainability Awards to companies worldwide, rather than just those in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.  

DuPont Sustainable Solutions is soliciting applications for the awards, which will be judged by a jury drawn from a range of respected safety, health and environmental organisations, said a statement.

The application form, which is available on its website, should be submitted by February 1, while complete entries, including a summary of the project must be received by February 27, it said.

Johan Van Der Westhuyzen, regional director, DuPont Turkey, Middle East and North Africa, said: “Over the last decade, the DuPont Safety and Sustainability Awards have become widely recognised among industrial companies as a benchmark for workplace safety and sustainability.

“More importantly, they have helped to promote initiatives aimed at saving lives and protecting the environment.”

DuPont is creating a new category for the awards this year – Operational Excellence, said the statement.

Nathan Turner, process safety management solution architect and project manager, said: “The addition of this category acknowledges the strong correlation between operational performance and corporate footprint reduction.

“Safety and sustainability improvements cannot be executed in a vacuum, but rather in concert with operational improvements.”

The competition welcomes entries from all companies or organisations that can demonstrate significant achievements in one of the following three categories - safety, sustainability or operations excellence.  

The regional winners in each category will be announced in the spring of 2015, and the global winner will be announced at the award ceremony in the fall of 2015.  

The awards will be judged on criteria including management commitment, cultural evolution, performance improvement, innovation and stakeholder engagement. - TradeArabia News Service
