HRC has a systematic approach to health, safety, security and environmental
management in order to achieve continuous performance improvement. To this
end, we manage these matters as critical business activities, set standards and
targets for improvement, and measure, appraise and report performance externally.
We continually look for ways to reduce any negative environmental impact of our
operations, products and services.
ECONOmIC
Long-term profitability is essential to achieve our business goals and to assure our
continued growth. It is a measure of both efficiency and the value customers place
on HRC’s products and services. It underpins the necessary corporate resources for
the continuing investment that is required to develop and produce future energy
supplies to meet customer needs.
Without profits and a strong financial foundation, it would not be possible to
fulfil our responsibilities. Criteria for investment and divestment decisions include
sustainable development considerations (economic, social and environmental) and
an appraisal of the risks of the investment.
