Sustainability, Safety Commitments and Values
DEMI is committed to environmental, social and governance sustainablity.
We operate a safety-first culture in all our procedures and in everything we do.
Whether the goods we transport, the equipment we design and maintain in our workshops,or simply railway activities in general, we operate in a highly safety-conscious industry.
We are unfailing in our focus on ensuring the complete safety of people and goods at every level, in every one of our activities and business units.
The tank container is a reusable asset that commonly has a useable life of twenty years or more. Stronger and safer than any other mode of transport, tank containers are a global transportation vehicle. DEMI’s role in keeping these containers in top operating condition is an important part of extending the useful life of these assets.
DEMI is committed to corporate responsibility and sustainable development through the Ethical Charter and the SAFETY, QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENT POLICY of our parent organization, Streem.
Each year Streem releases a report on the group’s environmental impact and sustainability efforts. The report provides a comprehensive overview of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance through the description of the actions we have taken to embed sustainability across our operations and the provision of a comprehensive review of KPIs in areas such as occupational safety, carbon emissions, employee well-being and gender equality.
DEMI has a committment to strong values and understands our responsibilities to our employees, clients, supplier partners and the environment where we work. Learn more about committments and responsibilities through our parent company, Streem.
