Well-being initiatives
All US employees are invited to sign up to an annual wellness and exercise program. In 2025, the ‘Fit for Summer Challenge’ engaged 120 employees across 10 teams, logging over 194,000 active fitness minutes. Later in the year, 61 employees took part in the ‘Thrive in 2025: Hydration Challenge’, promoting healthy hydration habits throughout the summer months. In Ellesmere Port, UK, webinars were delivered on Better Sleep, Winter Wellness, and Prostate Health, alongside on-site Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing for male employees over 50. Additionally, 13 new Mental Health First Aiders were trained, bringing the total to 29 at the site. In Brazil, our teams launched a mental health program focused on self-care and resilience, complemented by workplace massage sessions to promote balance and well-being.
UK Chemistry Industry Association (CIA) employee health metrics tool
Each year, we utilize the CIA Health Metrics Indicator tool to assess and benchmark our health programs against industry best practices. This tool assesses our performance across key areas, including health leadership, policies, audits, hazard control, monitoring, wellness support, rehabilitation programs, health promotion, and education.
Following the assessment, sites are allocated a score on a scale of A to D:
A ‘Advanced’, B ‘Best Practice’, C ’Controlling’ and D ‘Developing’.

of sites achieved ‘Best Practice’ rating overall
