Keeping our people safe and ensuring their physical and mental wellbeing

We’re committed to creating a workplace where every employee feels safe, supported and valued — both physically and psychologically.

The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is a core priority at WesCEF. We promote a strong safety culture where employees are encouraged to identify hazards, raise concerns and contribute to safer ways of working.

Given the nature of our operations, we place particular focus on identifying and managing high-potential (HiPo) hazards and incidents that could result in serious harm. Through strong leadership, effective risk management and continuous improvement, we strive to maintain safe and reliable operations and ensure everyone returns home safely every day.

Our Employee Assistance Program (Phone: 1300 307 912) provides confidential support to team members and their families, helping them navigate personal or work-related challenges and supporting their overall wellbeing.

WesCEF recognises the importance of building resilience to climate-related risks while supporting the transition to a lower-carbon economy

We are committed to understanding and managing climate-related risks and opportunities across our businesses and incorporating these considerations into long-term planning and decision-making.

Through ongoing investment, innovation and collaboration, we continue to evaluate opportunities to improve operational resilience, reduce emissions and support a responsible transition, while maintaining safe, reliable and efficient operations.

For more information on our climate-related performance, emissions and climate initiatives, refer to the climate-related disclosures in the latest Wesfarmers Annual Report.

WesCEF manufactures, handles, stores and transports hazardous chemical products as part of its operations. Managing these risks safely is fundamental to protecting our people, neighbouring communities, the environment and our licence to operate

Asset integrity, process safety and product stewardship are key components of our approach to maintaining safe and reliable operations.

We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our assets and the safe operation of our facilities through a range of asset integrity and process safety programs. These programs are designed to identify and manage risks, maintain effective controls and help prevent serious incidents. We collaborate with specialised contractors and industry partners to help ensure our products are managed safely and responsibly.

Through continuous improvement, ongoing monitoring and a focus on operational excellence, we work to maintain safe, reliable and efficient operations across our businesses while supporting the responsible management of our products and operations.

Water security is critical to CSBP’s operations at Kwinana

The business’s long term water strategy aims to ensure sustainable water use, as well as the management of wastewater, including reuse and recycling. WesCEF recognises the importance of responsibly managing water resources to support reliable operations, environmental performance and long-term business sustainability.

Our approach focuses on improving water efficiency, increasing the use of lower-impact water sources where practical, and optimising wastewater management to make more efficient use of available water resources. We continue to assess opportunities to strengthen long-term water security and support the resilience of our operations.

For more information on our water and wastewater performance and initiatives, refer to the latest Wesfarmers Annual Report.

Take actions to minimise the risk of modern slavery occurring in WesCEF businesses and supply chains.

WesCEF is committed to take actions that seek to contribute to the primary objectives of the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018, to minimise the risk of modern slavery occurring in the division’s businesses and its supply chains. Unethical sourcing and modern slavery has severe consequences for victims, distorts global markets, undercuts responsible business, and can pose significant legal and reputational risks. We are committed to promoting responsible sourcing practices and working with suppliers to support transparency, accountability and continuous improvement across our supply chain.

Through our Ethical Sourcing and Modern Slavery program, we undertake supplier risk assessments, monitoring and governance activities designed to identify, assess and address potential risks in our supply chain. We continue to strengthen our approach through ongoing program improvements, supplier engagement and employee awareness initiatives. For more information on our approach to human rights, ethical sourcing and modern slavery risk management, refer to the latest Wesfarmers Annual Report and Modern Slavery Statement (Sustainability).

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels they belong

Through our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy and Aboriginal Inclusion Plan, we support gender balance, Aboriginal representation, inclusive recruitment, flexible ways of working and career development opportunities. Our approach is focused on fostering a culture where people feel safe, respected, valued and able to contribute their best.

We recognise that positive workplace relationships play an important role in employee engagement, wellbeing and business performance. Through our people policies, leadership practices and employee engagement initiatives, we aim to create an inclusive and respectful workplace built on collaboration, open communication and shared accountability.

We continue to strengthen our talent pipeline by increasing representation of women in engineering, technology and operational roles, while supporting diverse future talent through our vacation student, cadet, graduate and apprenticeship programs. These initiatives help create pathways for people from diverse backgrounds to develop their skills and build long-term careers with WesCEF.

Through our Aboriginal Inclusion Plan, we are committed to supporting sustainable employment, development and leadership opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while continuing to build a culturally safe and inclusive workplace where diverse cultures and perspectives are recognised and respected. We also seek to strengthen understanding of Aboriginal cultures and foster meaningful participation through initiatives that support reconciliation, inclusion and long-term opportunities.

WesCEF is committed to supporting the local communities in which it operates and initiatives that create social and environmental benefits

Our community investment activities focus on areas that are meaningful to both our business, and local communities, including education, environmental sustainability, STEM and Aboriginal engagement. Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute to community wellbeing, support future opportunities and create shared value for our stakeholders.

We recognise the importance of meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and strive to build respectful partnerships that support inclusion, participation and positive long-term outcomes.
