11-06-2009: Borealis has won the 2009 DuPont Safety Award in the category “Sustainable Business Impact”. The Austrian provider of chemical and plastics solutions received the award for the successful implementation of the group-wide safety standards during integration of former Agrolinz Melamine International. DuPont presented the 2009 Safety Awards as part of the international A+A trade fair for safety, security and health at work held in Düsseldorf.

Following its takeover of Agrolinz Melamine International, Borealis applied an internal programme called “Step Change in Safety” in 2007 in order that improvements in safety performance be taken into consideration in the integration process. The significant measures in this programme included intensive training courses and increased commitment on the part of executives, the setting up of a new organisational structure as well as the introduction of new key figures, measuring instruments and systems. As a result the company was able to achieve almost the same safety performance as the entire Borealis Group by the end of 2008. In addition, the Executive Board initiated a second project called the “Way Forward Programme” which was intended to anchor the safety philosophy in the consciousness of employees, thereby sustainably improving the safety level.
