General Management
Safety is more than just a priority at BPNE; it is a core value on which we will not compromise. Producing, transforming and distributing energy inherently involves certain risks for the health and safety of employees, contractors and residents in the vicinity of our industrial sites. Furthermore, certain products marketed by BPNE may present risks for the health and safety of consumers. It is around safety, in accordance with the strictest standards and with regard to health that the operational measures and indicators used to manage BPNE’ activities are based. Our safety targets are clear – we have set a goal of zero fatalities and are aiming for ongoing reductions in the number of accidents, safeguarding the health of our employees at work and avoiding major industrial accidents. We also seek to minimize the risks of consuming our products.
