HSSE & SP at Astra Sage
At Astra Sage, HSSE & SP is not a side topic. It is a core responsibility embedded in our daily activities, decision-making, and leadership expectations. We are committed to protecting people, operating securely, preventing environmental harm, and acting responsibly toward the communities in which we operate.
| Our Policy
A Strong Commitment to HSSE and Social Performance
Astra Sage is fully committed to conducting business in a manner that protects the health, safety, and security of our employees, contractors, suppliers, clients, visitors, partners, and stakeholders. We believe strong HSSE and Social Performance standards are fundamental to responsible operations and long-term sustainability. The wellbeing of our workforce and stakeholders is not only a priority — it is a core responsibility embedded in how we work.
Our business is founded on transforming waste into renewable energy feedstock through the responsible recovery and handling of used cooking oil. Environmental stewardship is integral to our operations, and we strive to minimize waste, conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, and use environmentally responsible materials wherever possible.
| Our Zero-Incident Goal
ZIG: No Harm to People. No Damage to the Environment.
Astra Sage adopts a Zero-Incident Goal (ZIG). This means we pursue no harm to people and no damage to the environment across every part of our operations.
Zero Injuries
We work to prevent incidents through planning, discipline, training, and safe execution.
Zero Occupational Health Impact
We aim to prevent work-related health harm through proper controls, safe practices, and continuous attention to worker wellbeing.
Zero Environmental Incidents
We aim to prevent spills, contamination, and other environmental harm through responsible handling and operational control.
Zero Security Breaches
We recognize that secure operations are part of responsible business and we aim to manage security risks with the same seriousness as safety and environmental risks.
This commitment extends across Astra Sage employees, suppliers, contractors, joint ventures, logistics partners, visitors, and customers. All contractors and joint ventures under Astra Sage’s operational control are required to manage HSSE and SP in full alignment with this policy.
