Environmental, Health, and Safety Efforts

At St. Charles Operations, protecting people and the environment is a part of everything we do and every decision we make. We continually strive for a "vision of zero" – zero injuries, zero incidents and zero environmental harm. Our goal is to eliminate all injuries, prevent adverse environmental and health impacts, reduce wastes and emissions and promote resource conservation at every stage of the life cycle of our products.

In addition to reporting our performance to the appropriate local, state and federal officials, we also issue an annual Public Report to the community. This public report tracks our environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic prosperity efforts, and is a "report card" to the community on our performance.

For more information, please visit environmental, safety, health and other information in the latest online St. Charles Operations Public Report.
