Sustainability

QBG’s corporate objectives are simple: zero accidents, zero incidents, minimal impact on the environment and complete client satisfaction.

As such, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment across all of our operations and eliminating and minimizing our environmental impact. To deliver on this objective, we proactively promote the highest standards in health, safety, security, environment and quality preservation and protection.

We do this through a formal Integrated Management System (IMS) for HSSEQ.

This allows us to:

• Identify all hazards and risks to our people, our clients and the environment.
• Prevent illness or injury by placing the highest priority on health.
• Set and review HSSEQ objectives and targets for continuous improvement.
• Ensure a close working partnership with clients to achieve mutually beneficial goals.
• Comply with country laws and regulations, corporate standards and other requirements.

Sustainability is the management and coordination of environmental, social demands and concerns to ensure responsible, ethical, and ongoing success. Sustainability is an integral part of QBG’s strategic plans. We conduct our business through our commitment, planning, and safety initiatives which is key to our continued success.
