Health, safety and environment
Scana works in a systematic manner to follow up HSE work in both holding and portfolio companies.
Health and Safety
At West Asset Management we align with Scana’s systematic approach to HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) and actively contribute to improving HSE standards across the portfolio. Health and safety are prioritized in all board meetings, where we monitor and address absenteeism, near-misses, injuries, and the follow-up actions taken by our team and partners.
Sick leave within Scana’s portfolio, including West Asset Management, is consistently low.
To date, no incidents of work-related damage or injuries have been registered within our activities, and the working environment is considered satisfactory.
Environment
As part of the Scana group, West Asset Management upholds Scana’s commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of its operations. The environmental footprint of our activities is considered very low, primarily linked to air travel.
The Scana portfolio includes diverse businesses, ranging from steel companies producing some of the cleanest steel in the world to developers of environmentally-friendly propulsion systems for ships, as well as manufacturers of equipment and components for offshore production units and real estate operators.
As part of the Scana family, we ensure high environmental standards today while working towards more sustainable strategies for the future.
Scana, as an owner, requires its portfolio companies to operate within granted emission permits and to take proactive measures to minimize emissions, reduce waste, and recycle wherever possible.
Our collective goal is to ensure that the products and services developed and delivered by the group companies are as clean and sustainable as possible, with minimal negative environmental impact.
