Health, safety & the environment
At SBZ Corporation, we take health, safety, and environmental responsibility seriously. From our manufacturing sites to customer operations worldwide, we work proactively to protect people, minimise risk, and operate sustainably. Safety isn’t just a policy - it’s a commitment built into everything we do.
Our Approach
We collaborate closely with our suppliers, partners, customers, and employees to identify, assess, and manage the health and safety risks associated with our products and business activities.
Training, mentoring, and ongoing technical support ensure that our teams and contractors around the world have the knowledge and confidence to work safely and responsibly.
When issues arise, we act quickly. Every incident is formally investigated to identify the root cause, and corrective actions are taken to prevent reoccurrence - ensuring continuous improvement across our global operations.
A responsible partner
At SBZ, responsibility doesn’t stop at compliance. We continually review and refine our processes to ensure safe handling, transport, and use of our products worldwide.
By putting safety and sustainability at the centre of how we operate, we help our customers achieve performance with confidence - today and for the long term.

SBZ Corporation fully complies with all REACH obligations.
We ensure that every substance we manufacture or import in quantities of one tonne or more per year within the EU meets the highest standards of registration, evaluation, and safety documentation.
We also work closely with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Finland, the regulatory body responsible for managing the technical and administrative aspects of REACH compliance.
