SAFETY
To us, safety is paramount. We demonstrate this by owning complying and respectfully intervening. Safety comes first all the time, ensuring the well-being of employees and those around us, the protection of the environment, and the security of our assets. Adhering to strict safety protocols, conducting regular training, and maintaining vigilant oversight minimizes the risk of accidents, spills, and other hazards. By prioritizing safety in every task, our teams can operate efficiently, reduce downtime, and ensure a secure environment for all personnel and surrounding communities.
RESPECT
We protect and preserve the inherent dignity of every person and engage in difficult conversation with empathy and without harm. Respect is essential for fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. It involves valuing diverse perspectives, listening to colleagues, and treating everyone with dignity. By showing respect for safety procedures, the environment, our business partners and neighbouring communities, employees contribute to the terminal's overall success. A respectful culture enhances communication, promotes safety, and helps maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, ensuring the terminal's long-term sustainability and success.
TEAMWORK
At SAPREF, we work as a team, build strong teams and assist one another to succeed. Collaboration across teams allows for quick problem-solving, cost efficiencies, improves communication, and minimizes the risks associated with safety and environmental hazards. By working together, each member can contribute their specialized skills, ensuring that operations run seamlessly and meet our targets.
RESPONSIBILITY
We take full ownership of our work, but we also own the overall success of SAPREF. We also own our individual growth and development. Employees and management take ownership for their outputs, intervene where necessary and support the growth of others. By embracing responsibility, we build trust among each other, our shareholders and both internal and external stakeholders.
HONESTY & INTEGRITY
We adhere to SAPREF’s rules and regulations, and we conduct ourselves with the highest ethical standards. Integrity builds trust among employees, shareholders, and regulatory authorities, ensuring compliance with safety and legal requirement. In our high-stakes industry, honesty and integrity are not just ethical principles—they are critical to operational success and long-term sustainability.
