Protecting the health and safety of each employee is our top priority. We want everyone who works with kp to come to work healthy, go home healthy and retire healthy.

As a cornerstone of our global Health, Safety and Environment standard, we have adopted the Behavioural Based Safety approach, which focuses on workers’ behaviour as the cause of most work-related injuries and illnesses.

Our contract suppliers are completely integrated into our safety requirements, with zero-violation tolerance. All workplace accidents are thoroughly investigated by management, and all process changes in production and administration are evaluated with respect to health and safety.

kp’s Leadership Team is committed to making the necessary resources available to achieve our safety targets, with the goal of reducing our lost time accident rate to zero. We believe that all accidents and occupational illnesses are preventable.

Fostering diversity and inclusion at all levels of kp matters to us, which is why we recently set up our Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, a company-wide, global effort to support a diverse and inclusive workplace. One of the most visible, although by no means only, outcomes of this effort will be a significant increase in gender diversity at management levels.

Keeping our people engaged is the only way that our business can succeed. Motivated, happy people who enjoy their careers with us  enables us to sustain the extraordinary levels of ingenuity and collaboration that makes kp different. To that end, we are committed to driving up our employee engagement score significantly over the next five years. Indeed, we already have over 200 employee codeveloped action plans running to address the feedback received from our most recent employee engagement survey.

Over the years, we have supported countless local, national, and international causes. Given the hugely positive impact of the projects undertaken, both on our people and local communities, we are scaling up our ambition substantially.
