Safety and Environment

Safety

The Safety focus is deeply aligned to the Engen business and its operations. The role of CSI in this area is to facilitate a shared company-wide approach to this issue and within this, to identify social investment opportunities that will be good for our company and will benefit the communities in which we do business.

This approach to the issue of safety is not only crucial for Engen to uphold as a responsible corporate citizen, but also gives Engen access to new business opportunities that will create jobs through responsible businesses. Our primary focus is on product safety and road safety education and awareness.

In road safety Engen supports government's Arrive Alive efforts to curb the road carnage through its education and awareness campaigns.

As an industry player Engen is the major contributor to Paraffin Safety Association of Southern Africa. This is in addition to the paraffin safety awareness campaigns, which are conducted annually through radio and industrial theatre.

Further, our support of the National Sea Rescue is Engen's commitment to safety of ordinary South Africans at sea.

Engen's investment to the Red Cross Children's Hospital Burns Unit operating theatre underpins our commitment to promoting quality of life, creating greater awareness of a safe home environment.

Environment

Over the past few decades, the business impact on the natural and social environments has been closely scrutinised by society, the media and government alike - to such an extent that environmental impact has become a key measurement of business performance and reporting and a corporate responsibility imperative. Engen environmental corporate responsibility is a key focus across the business and is informed by the policies of our HSE division.

Engen has through its own programmes and business improvements, together with wider industry and government initiatives, made an increasing contribution to a cleaner environment and more sustainable business practices. Engen's commitment to support the Rose Foundation is but one shining example. In addition, the ongoing work with the communities and schools in the Durban South basin ensures Engen keeps a keen eye on being a good corporate neighbour.

Engen is also a contributing member of World Wildlife Fund.
