Building a brighter, greener future.
From management members to foundry workers, every member of McWane plays a part in our company’s approach to environmental and safety issues. It starts with a clear vision from our leaders, and it is supported by strong policies that place the environment and safety at the core of the business through substantial investment in state-of-the-art environmental technologies and modern infrastructure.
McWane addresses the unique environmental and safety challenges faced by our industry with a comprehensive Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) management system based on the principles of International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14001, Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) 18001 and OSHA Management Guidelines. ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized specification for environmental management systems. Our EHS management system allows us to manufacture our products in an environmentally compliant and eco-friendly way and provide communities with a foundation for life with clean, safe and dependable drinking water.
Our product is also environmentally friendly, as every product is made from up to 98 percent scrap metal. In addition to producing environmentally beneficial products, we have developed ways to make our facilities more environmentally compliant. McWane’s environmental team has spearheaded company-wide initiatives to examine our manufacturing processes and develop ways to improve recycling, reuse opportunities and reduce environmental impacts. We are also exploring ways to incorporate green building principles into future EHS capital improvements to reduce our environmental footprint further.
All McWane facilities have implemented environmental practices that, in many instances, exceed U.S. standards, producing a performance that is among the best in our industry. We improve our performance every day so that we help protect our environment for generations to come.
“At McWane, protecting the environment and our employees' health and safety is one of our highest priorities. Our environmental, health and safety management system is designed to provide an organized and consistent approach to achieving this objective and assuring continuous improvement.”
Jeet Radia, Senior Vice President Environment, Safety & Human Resources
