Corporate excellence in the 21st century will require more than high profitability and productivity
INTRODUCTION
Corporate excellence in the 21st century will require more than high profitability and productivity. It will mean superior safety and environmental performance.

The key to safety and environmental excellence lies in creating a new culture. Culture is defined as the ideas, customs, values, norms, attitudes, commitments, and behaviors of a group of people in a given period. When the "ideas, customs, values, norms and attitudes", of the people in your organization reflect a commitment to safety and environmental compliance, performance levels will rise.

Creating an enhanced culture involves taking the best from your company's current culture and incorporating new values and standards that are aligned with leaderships vision for the 21st century.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the Planning for Safety, Health, and Environmental Excellence process is to empower your leadership to:

  • Create a vision for a new safety, health, and environmental culture.
  • Create the purpose, objectives and goals to support and achieve this vision.
  • Develop criteria for the measurement and acknowledgment of performance.
OBJECTIVES:
  • Determine leaderships commitment to safety, health, and the environment.
  • Identify critical safety, health, and environmental issues.
  • Create a shared safety, health, and environmental vision and public identity.

  • Develop strategies to accomplish these goals.
  • Determine a unified safety, health, and environmental internal and external public identity for the company.
