FMC is among the safest companies in the chemical industry. In 2021, the company achieved a record-low recordable injury rate of 0.066, which can be attributed to a culture of safety that extends to non-manufacturing employees through a global program called TH!NK SAFE. The program helps all employees, whether they work in an office, lab, field or production facility, to understand and apply the fundamentals of safety.
'The Responsible Care program helps the chemical industry operate with safety as a top priority. It is the mainstay of our industry's commitment to health, safety, security and environmental protection,' said ACC President and CEO
'For FMC, there is nothing more important than safety,' said Douglas. 'We believe the key to creating a safety culture at work is to apply the same focus, intention and dedication to safety in every aspect of our lives.'
FMC has also made significant progress on its sustainability objectives. In 2021, the company committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, an ambitious goal that will set aggressive reduction standards not only for FMC, but suppliers and vendors as well.
'Our sense of responsibility to people and the planet extends beyond our company walls to the communities where we operate and the farms we serve,' Douglas said. 'We have an opportunity to leave this world a better place for the next generation. For that to happen, we must act now and we must act boldly.'
Net-zero is just one part of FMC's broader sustainability platform which, in addition to climate change, drives progress on food security, conservation and social justice. To read FMC's recently published 2021 sustainability report, please visit fmc.com/sustainability.
