RESPECT for our PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES.
At Albany, our diverse people truly are our greatest competitive advantage, which is why we are unwavering in our commitment to nurture a thriving people-first, high-engagement and inclusive workplace culture defined by respect.
Being respectful of our people means prioritizing their safety, valuing their diverse thoughts, experience and backgrounds, celebrating and encouraging accountability, and providing meaningful and relevant opportunities for growth and development at all levels of the organization.
Being respectful of our people also means recognizing that our local teams have unique needs and priorities.
We are focused on several Social topics, including:
1. Employee Health & Safety
At Albany, we live by our value that Safety is our top priority. From the Board room to the shop floor to the field, we believe that no business objective is worth an injury and accidents are preventable.
Our progress:
- We have systematically and continuously reduced our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) by 77% since 2010 to 0.84 in 2020.
- We have had no fatalities in that time.
