Reporting

Employees have the right to report situations considered unethical or that may lead to a conflict of interest. They are protected from retaliation by Minox and by any Minox representative.
HSE
Minox employees and all our subcontractors are entitled to conduct their work in a safe and healthy environment. We have a zero incident philosophy and strive to meet this target every day.
We achieve our goals by making managers aware of and clarifying their responsibility for health, safety and environmental aspects, quality assurance and personnel management. We supply managers and key personnel with the training and education they need, and we communicate with all employees in an open and honest manner. We develop the technical and management capabilities within our organisation, and we select and recruit new employees for both competence and behaviour.
