Exyte embraces safety as one of its core values and is committed to providing an incident-free and injury-free workplace, which protects the safety, health and wellbeing of around 5,600 employees at all times around the world.
Always looking for opportunities to improve safety culture
For Exyte, exceptional safety performance is an organizational commitment, which makes sure that all its employees, contractors and stakeholders go home safe.
“We should always be looking for opportunities to improve our safety culture and have the conviction to speak out loud when we consider situations or behavior unsafe or detrimental to the safety of our workforce," says Roberto Penno, Chief Operating Officer of Exyte.
“I believe that an excellent safety culture is important for every organization. The major pillars for the concept of organizational safety are strategy, leadership, employee engagement and culture," adds Wolfgang Homey, Chief Financial Officer of Exyte.
"Exyte has transitioned from managing safety through tasks and checklists to embracing safety as a cultural imperative. Processes and procedures are important, but they cannot guarantee an Incident Free Workplace by themselves. They have to be galvanized by involving employees mentally and emotionally.”
Celebrating World Day for Safety and Health at Work
On World Day for Safety and Health at Work, Exyte used the opportunity to further raise awareness for workplace safety and health issues. For example, Exyte employees across China gathered to celebrate the day.
Receiving an award for good practices in health and wellbeing
Exyte China was also awarded Best Wellness Employee at the Asia Best Workplace (Mainland China) Awards organized by AIA and HRoot. Supported by the School of Public Health Peking, the event recognizes organizations for their good practices in delivering health and wellbeing in the workplace.
The award recognized Exyte's commitment to providing a safe, healthy and sustainable work environment for its employees.

"Therefore, we remain committed to protecting their safety and health by providing an Incident Free Workplace."
