H2O Innovation Strengthens its Health & Safety Program and Earns ISO Certifications for Genesys
March 02 2021 - 8:00AM
(TSXV: HEO) – H2O Innovation Inc. (“H2O Innovation” or the
“Corporation”) is pleased to announce that one of its specialty
chemicals business lines, Genesys, has obtained two new ISO
certifications, demonstrating its continued commitment to
respecting and promoting health and safety at work.
As part of the Corporation’s 3-Year Strategic
Plan announced a few months ago, one of the main objectives was to
create a safer working environment with top tier health, safety and
environmental (“HSE”) practices. The well-being of the
Corporation’s employees and the protection of the environment are
priorities for H2O Innovation and essential to its strong culture.
“Some high-profile industrial clients even require suppliers to
adopt best practices with regards to environmental, social and
governance (“ESG”) factors and HSE. Focusing on continuous
improvement in these areas should enable us to raise our profile as
a supplier and differentiate ourselves from the
competition,” stated Frédéric Dugré, President and CEO
of H2O Innovation.
The UK-based Genesys team has been granted two
ISO certifications in the past few weeks. The first, ISO 22301,
ensures that the team can operate efficiently despite interruptions
like COVID-19. This certification signals the focus on best
practices with respect to business continuity. Because of
procedures in place, Genesys continues to deliver its specialty
chemicals from its facilities in Cheshire, UK, to more than 75
countries around the world. The second certification, ISO 45001,
promotes physical and mental health with the goal of reducing
injuries work absenteeism. These are two specific examples of the
Corporation’s renewed focus on its employees and customers.
H2O Innovation has also recently implemented
Sospes software to facilitate the tracking and continuous
improvement of the overall safety rating of the Corporation as a
company. The goal is to reduce potential for injuries to employees
as well as empower and encourage teams to work safely. “We have had
a strong safety culture at H2O Innovation, and the latest efforts
are not only a testament to that, but also show our desire to
standardize and push best practices across all our business units.
These initiatives to improve the safety of our employees will help
make us an employer of choice,” added Gregory Madden,
Chief Strategic Officer of H2O Innovation.
