Awareness in our thinking.
Responsibility in our action.
Ongoing success.
Premier is committed to applying the high ethical standards necessary to maintain our reputation as an employer and operator of choice.
To deliver this goal, our investment and operational decisions take appropriate account of the social, health, safety and environmental impacts that may arise during our activities.
In a year that saw dramatic changes in the global financial and energy markets, we remained committed to investing in the countries and communities in which we operate; refused to cut corners on maintaining excellence in HSE management; and stayed on track in implementing our plans to reach our aspiration of being an industry leader in social performance. Our project teams in Vietnam and Indonesia remain committed to safe design and have shown tenacity in balancing environmental protection considerations with the economic viability of our projects in the rapidly changing financial conditions.
