Statutory Corporate Social Responsibility Statement

The report describes H+H's group-wide Code of Conduct and compliance structure, including regional compliance officers, HSE policies, training and whistleblowing. In 2017, external safety audits were completed at every plant and improvement plans were established; accident frequency decreased, while hours lost increased following a small number of incidents. Environmental work focused on product waste and binder consumption, with water-reduction projects ongoing. Business-ethics work also included preparation for GDPR compliance.
