“LyondellBasell is committed to the highest safety standards and our sites embody a culture of continuous improvement. Exceptional occupational and process safety performance is part of who we are and receiving these prestigious awards exemplifies that,” said Dale Friedrichs, Executive Vice President, Operational Excellence and HSE.

They embraced the need for different approaches to unlock differential results, and in the process delivered incredible GoalZERO performance. I could not be more proud of them," said Shawn Cullen former Site Manager, Bayport.
