Our Commitment to Social Responsibility

Fostering a Safety Culture

• Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) management system — Each facility develops an EHS matrix to track safety and environmental activities, with progress continuously monitored, evaluated and shared. This system is complemented by a number of support resources, including our corporate policy, standards, procedures, directives and more to set expectations for employees.
• Training — All REG employees undergo safety training, customized with in-depth training for those whose jobs include more potential hazards.
• SEE Signals — A cognitive process to reduce or eliminate incidents. It requires that someone first stop to identify hazards, next evaluate what could go wrong and last execute the plan and prevent incidents. To keep this front of mind, the company utilizes a visual reminder of a stoplight at each facility and change the red, yellow and green lights as events occur around the company, keeping all employees attentive and attuned to company safety.
• Safety committees — Composed of employees across the organization, each location has a safety committee with the intent to keep safety front of mind, to educate and to make safety applicable to our daily lives. The committees have also instigated a company-wide practice of beginning all meetings with a safety moment.
• Recognition — Effective safety communication includes celebrating achievements throughout the organization, including incident prevention, corrective action plans, and finding ways to reduce risk. Three times a year we solicit input from across the organization and award employees that have exhibited exemplary safety performance or made contributions resulting in a safer workplace for all.
