Global HSE<br />
competition<br />
We hold an annual HSE<br />
competition in all our<br />
factories to help focus<br />
employees on health, safety<br />
and environmental issues.<br />
As part of the competition,<br />
each factory submits one or<br />
more examples of how they<br />
have reduced the risk of<br />
accidents, improved energy<br />
efficiency, reduced waste or<br />
saved costs. The winners in<br />
<strong>2012</strong> were:<br />
1. Guangzhou, China. By<br />
completely mapping electricity<br />
use, the factory was<br />
able to significantly reduce<br />
energy consumption in<br />
utilities as well as air and<br />
water treatment systems.<br />
2. Kuwait. The factory<br />
introduced new plastic bag<br />
packaging for putty products<br />
that helps limit waste.<br />
3. Poland. The installation<br />
of a regenerative<br />
thermal oxidiser plant<br />
ensures minimal emissions<br />
to the atmosphere. The<br />
oxidiser is also integrated<br />
into the factory heating<br />
system to help reduce gas<br />
consumption.
