Teijin Automotive Technologies, a renowned company specialising in the development and production of advanced composite components for the global automotive and transportation industries, has recently publicised the recipients of its eighth annual Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Awards programme. The 2023 EH&S Sustainability Award was presented to the company’s Manchester facility, located on West Austin Road in Manchester Township, in recognition of its exceptional EH&S practices and outcomes over a minimum of three successive years.
This prestigious honour is bestowed upon facilities that consistently showcase top-tier EH&S practices and performance. Teijin’s Manchester facility has consistently embodied the company’s fundamental principles by prioritising environmental impact reduction and the safeguarding of employee health and safety. This acknowledgment underscores the facility’s excellence in integrating EH&S management into its business operations.
While this marks the first instance in which the Manchester facility has received the EH&S Sustainability Award, it is noteworthy that in 2022, it attained the Most Improved EH&S Program for a small facility. These accomplishments are indicative of Teijin Automotive Technologies’ ongoing dedication to continually enhancing its EH&S practices.
The EH&S Awards Programme is a behaviour-based recognition initiative devised to commend facilities for their commitment and contributions to employee safety, environmental preservation, community involvement, and overall EH&S programme excellence. From numerous global manufacturing locations, the award-winning facilities were chosen for their exceptional performance in various EH&S criteria.
CEO Chris Twining restated the company’s steadfast commitment to ensuring the health and safety of its employees, asserting, “Our ultimate goal is to achieve zero injuries across the board, because there is nothing more important to us than the health and safety of our employees. Any workplace injury to an employee is one too many. We will continue to set the bar high, continually improve our safety and environmental practices, and achieve a workplace where no one gets hurt.”
The company’s dedication to attaining excellence in EH&S practices was further underscored at its annual EH&S conference, during which the winning facilities were honoured for their exceptional contributions in fostering a safe and sustainable work environment.
Teijin Automotive Technologies’ status as a global leader in composite formulations underscores its commitment to delivering automakers with innovative, lightweight, and durable products that offer design and packaging flexibility. With its headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich., USA, the company operates in 7 countries and employs over 5,000 people, exerting a significant impact across the automotive and transportation industries.
