Safety in Action: 2025 Sustainability Report Highlights
At Austin Powder, safety is more than a priority. It's the foundation of how we operate, innovate, and grow.
In 2025, our global teams continued to strengthen our safety culture, achieving a 14% reduction in Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) while maintaining 100% workforce coverage under our SHES Management System. These results reflect the commitment of our employees worldwide to creating safer workplaces every day.
A key milestone was the global rollout of Take 5, empowering employees to pause, identify hazards, assess risks, and confirm controls before beginning work. We also invested in advanced training, emergency preparedness, and incident investigation methodologies to further strengthen resilience across our operations.
Innovation remains an important part of our safety journey. Investments in automation, robotics, and digital technologies are helping reduce exposure to high-risk tasks while improving reliability and efficiency.
"As a global company operating in high-hazard environments, we have a profound responsibility to put safety first, every day, everywhere. At Austin Powder, this commitment is personal, and it defines how we operate, lead, and grow sustainably."
– Joao Roorda, Global SHES Director
