We build a culture of care – Zero accidents and a healthy workplace

At KANSAI HELIOS Group, protecting the health, safety and well-being of our people and communities is more than a commitment – ​​it is our unwavering promise.

Our Health and Safety Policy serves as a guide to help us achieve a safe workplace, foster a culture of care and ensure regulatory compliance. According to this policy, the safety of our employees is our top concern, incorporated into every decision, with precise objectives and the ultimate goal of achieving zero injuries in the workplace.

In line with our KANSAI HELIOS Group 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, we aim to maintain a Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) rate of 1.5 or less. Our focus on safety extends beyond our employees to external contractors, visitors and partners.

Environmental management

Almost all of our locations are certified to ISO 14001:2015 , which is proof of our commitment to environmental management systems.

Our commitment goes beyond declarations; this is visible in our concrete sustainability goals. We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and reduce water and energy use by 20% by 2030. We are also committed to reducing waste production by 30% , thereby confirming our promise to minimize our environmental footprint .
