OUR VALUES

DERIVADOS DEL FLUOR believes in acting ethically, socially, and in an environmentally responsible manner in terms of our operations and the supply chain. We strive for sustainable development and we support the principles of the United Nations Global Compact

Our Quality, Environmental, Safety and Health Policy is disseminated at all levels of the organization and includes DDF’s commitments to guarantee that the activity is performed with the highest level of quality, safety and environmental protection.

Since 2011, we have formed part of the TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY initiative. This is a global program supported by the main European players in the chemical industry, to assess, audit, and improve sustainability practices. Learn more: https://tfs-initiative.com/.

The program is based on third-party independent and continuous evaluation of a pre-defined set of criteria that is shared with our clients upon request. Evaluation is carried out via the Ecovadis platform and comprises four themes:

• Environment.
• Labor & Human Rights.
• Ethics.
• Sustainable Procurement.

At DDF we take ethical values seriously. We are committed to our moral guiding principles within the ethical framework and governance for business of MINERSA Group, to guarantee the highest ethical standard and professional conduct of our employees.

Safety

Employee health and safety are a top priority for our company and we manage them according to ISO 45001 standards, under which we are certified (available for download here).

Our site is periodically audited for compliance with Directive 2012/18/EU, but our commitment to health and safety extends beyond our facilities: we incorporate external stakeholders to ensure safety throughout the supply chain. Product stewardship is materialized in the control and audit of our logistic and emergency response partners, training of our clients and collaborators, and participation in mutual assistance programs around the globe.
