People are Umicore’s greatest asset. Their passion, purpose and skill drive innovation and inspire Umicore as a company and make an impact wherever we conduct business. We are working to support the nearly 12,000 people of Umicore in every way possible.
Well-being at work
At Umicore, we promote professional, physical, mental and social well-being through transparency, employee engagement and prevention programs and regular assessments. We provide training for all managers and supervisors, physical health programs and a sense of belonging for all employees. We aim for zero work-related adverse health effects.
Zero work-related injuries
Health and safety come first—everything else is second. By adopting safety leadership coaching style to change behaviors and mindsets, Umicore aims for zero work-related injuries. By establishing a positive, inclusive, and empowering culture, we safeguard the wellbeing and vitality of our employees.
Process safety
Umicore is further rolling out the internal Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) leader training program to increase and secure process safety knowledge and expertise. This will improve both the quantity and quality of process risk assessments.
No excess exposure
We are leading the industry by setting voluntary, science-based targets for potentially hazardous exposure to metals that are more stringent than legal requirements, where relevant. While we continue to roll out enhanced solutions to prevent exposure, we also ensure that all employees with potential workplace exposure to metals are monitored by an occupational health program.
