Chemical, petrochemical, and other materials in this market are expensive, potentially dangerous, and intended for specific uses only. And, of course, critical to not just your business, but to any other you're supplying. Exel is committed to following the strictest safety and environmental standards in the transport and storage of these goods.
The health of our associates, our customers, and the public is our top priority, and our environmental performance meets all contemporary requirements. Exel operations are run in a manner acceptable to all local communities. Our solutions comply with the relevant laws and regulations and we take any additional measures we consider necessary. We are also in the process of developing and deploying a new global safety initiative called Sustainable Zero, which will launch in early 2010. The program focuses on our operations in the Energy industry with the goal of achieving and maintaining zero recordable injuries.
It's not just about complying today. It's about getting better all the time in this critical area. We invest heavily in training, set demanding performance targets, and measure progress to ensure continuous improvement in safety, security, health, and environmental performance.
