Safety First
We are dedicated to the belief that people are our most important asset, making the health and safety of our employees, and anyone entering our facilities, our top priority.
We do that by complying with or exceeding all applicable regulations and legal requirements and through our SafeWorks program, an occupational health and safety management system we’ve had in place for more than two decades.

Investing in our People
Taking care of our people stems from Our Philosophy and the belief that people respond to recognition, opportunities for growth and fair compensation.
In fiscal 2024, our people completed 65,000 hours of training, averaging more than 25 hours per employee. While we build our internal talent, we are also committed to attracting and retaining employees who help us drive our success and their own.
