Quality, health, safety, security and environment (QHSSE)

Our unique reclamation process recycles and reuses cesium formate, benefiting both our clients and the environment.

We prioritise the wellbeing of our employees, customers, partners and communities, making health and safety policies, programmes and initiatives fundamental to our business. We are steadfast in our commitment to achieving zero harm for all individuals involved in our operations, and are always looking for opportunities to improve in this area.

Determined to tackle the global challenge of climate change, we have set ambitious targets to halve our Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2029 and achieve net zero by 2045. Our commitment to environmental sustainability is represented by our products, which significantly reduce operators’ environmental risk, and our award-winning chemical leasing model, which has been at the core of our business since the company’s inception in 1996. This model sees our fluids reused over and over again, facilitated by our patented reclamation technologies that ensure the highest product quality for our clients.
