Sustainability

Nostrum maintains and promotes the highest standards of Environmental, Social and Governance practice. The Company recognises it has a responsibility to operate in a sustainable and ethical manner for the benefit of the local community and all of our stakeholders.

Health and safety

Our operational success is reliant upon a strong health and safety culture within our business. To ensure the security of all employees and contractors, we utilise active QHSE training and reporting procedures.

Communities and Social Review

Nostrum engages both formally and informally with the communities in which we operate and strives to be responsive to stakeholder feedback, including from local residents, suppliers and government.

Our Environment

Nostrum is committed to operating in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner. We comply with all legal and regulatory environmental requirements, and are working towards ISO standards in our environmental management system.

Our people

Nostrum is proud to engage a diverse workforce spanning many ages, nationalities and genders. The Nostrum Code of Conduct protects all employees and contractors against illegal discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political opinion.

Making positive impact

We have operated in Kazakhstan for more than 20 years and during this time the Company has sought to be a responsible and transparent company which places the public interest at the core of decision-making processes. We have a deep understanding of, and respect for, the needs of the communities in which we operate, and we therefore prioritise the ethical management of our people, our communities and our environment.

Nostrum recognises both Kazakh and UK legislative and regulatory requirements in relation to our QHSE standards and we seek to comply with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and ISO 50001 Energy Management standards.

In 2019 we will form a Board Health, Safety, Environment & Communities committee which will have oversight over health, safety and environmental matters. This committee will be focused upon Leadership & Commitment, Incident Investigation, Contractor Management, Process Safety, Environmental & Climate Change and Social Responsibility. This will be undertaken as part of a five year strategic roadmap to achieve Nostrum’s HSE goals and objectives.
