Health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to foster a culture where safe practices are recognized, encouraged, and celebrated across all our global operations.

One of the ways that we acknowledge outstanding performance is through our corporate safety awards and certificate programs, which recognize sites that achieve extended periods without an employee reportable lost time accident (RLTA). Each milestone is marked with a plaque presentation and a donation to a charity chosen by the site’s employees.

In 2024, our Herne, Germany site received a Gold award for reaching an incredible 21 consecutive years without an RLTA. This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication, vigilance, and teamwork of everyone at the site. Site employees chose to support a local charity called Café Pluto which helps unemployed young people find jobs.

‘Safety has been the highest priority at the Herne site for decades, and the responsibility of each individual is regularly communicated to all employees by the management team. The last reportable accident of an employee was more than 21 years ago. For us, this award is further proof that it is possible to work accident-free over an increasingly longer period of time.’ Frank Eilers, Senior Manufacturing Manager, Herne

Congratulations to the Herne team for setting such a high standard in safety excellence!

We’re proud to share that Lauren McAnally, Regulatory Ecotoxicologist, participated in the 35th Annual Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Europe Conference in Vienna on 11-15th May.

During the event, Lauren presented a poster featuring a novel New Approach Method (NAM)-enhanced read-across and Weight of Evidence (WoE) strategy designed to avoid chronic fish testing on alkyl isethionate surfactants under EU REACH. This innovative approach was developed in collaboration with our industry partners at Nouryon and Unilever.

If accepted by European regulatory authorities, the approach has the potential to prevent approximately 2,000 vertebrate fish from chronic toxicity testing, representing a significant step forward in advancing alternatives to animal testing in regulatory science and risk assessment.
We’re excited to be at the forefront of sustainable innovation in chemical safety assessment.

Today on Global Running Day, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible running and fund raising achievements of our employees and the positive impact they’re making for both their own wellbeing and the wider community.

• Danny Cooper ran an incredible 100km from London to Brighton in support of West Cheshire Foodbank.
• Simon Li and Rebecca Peart completed the London Marathon, raising vital funds for the Stick n Step and Diabetes UK.
• A team of colleagues from our Ellesmere Port site ran the Chester Half Marathon, sponsored by Innospec, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

At Innospec, we’re committed to promoting employee well-being, encouraging participation in running and fitness activities at our sites around the world. These initiatives are proudly supported by our Innospec Cares program, which matches employee fundraising with a $2 donation for every $1 raised. We’re inspired by the dedication of our runners and the causes they support.

At Innospec, we’re committed to using science and innovation to support a more sustainable future. Our advanced fuel additives are engineered to improve combustion efficiency, reduce carbon deposits, and enhance overall fuel performance leading to cleaner, more efficient fuel consumption across marine, gasoline, and diesel applications.

For the first time in 2024, we calculated the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided from the use of our fuel additives. Based on conservative fuel economy improvements of 2.4% - 4.8%, our analysis shows an estimated 20.8 million metric tonnes of CO₂ avoided, compared to if the fuels were burnt without our additives.

To put that into perspective:
- That’s over 200 times the total annual GHG emissions from our site operations.
- Equivalent to the average annual emissions from 4.5 million gasoline-powered cars, or
- The carbon sequestered by 348 million tree seedlings grown over 10 years.

These numbers demonstrate the positive environmental impact of our technology and how we’re supporting our customers’ decarbonization efforts, directly contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). We’re proud to be part of the solution, utilizing chemistry to advance sustainability.
