QHSE

The primary goal of ECD Management is to achieve the highest standards of quality in all processes without compromise. Our objective is to continually improve our company performance, while offering our customers a safe, cost-effective and professional service.

Quality performance is one of the cornerstones of our company culture and is considered a personal responsibility of all employees. To maintain quality performance of all aspects of our business at the highest level, the following aims are pursued:

• To fulfill or exceed Customer needs and expectations by delivering a quality service in a consistent and timely manner;
• To cultivate and maintain the commitment to continual improvement and communicate our goals and objectives to every employee;
• To furnish a Quality Management System with policies which are periodically reviewed to ensure the ability of all groups to perform their work effectively.

The success of this policy can only be achieved through the commitment and loyalty of everyone, regardless of the duties he or she performs. Through mutual respect, personal pride and teamwork, we will strive for excellence, continually improving our services, processes, and products. We will work to be the best at what we do, in every phase of our business, at every level.

We believe we have a responsibility to minimize the energy, carbon, water and waste impacts of our business and recognize that these impacts occur not just in the daily operations but also through our entire value chain. As a result, we strive to reduce environmental impacts across our field and corporate operations.

Products and operations optimization: We are constantly exploring ways to improve performance with less environmental impact. We have developed and implemented several technologies that not only reduce operational costs to our clients but do so in a way that reduces their carbon footprint.

A deep commitment to social responsibility is core to who we are as a company.

We believe people are at the heart of our business and take pride in our unique work culture. We strive to be an optimal employer to our workforce and a valued partner to the communities where we work.

Diversity and Inclusion: We embrace and value diversity in all its forms, whether gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background. Equal opportunity is integral to our recruitment process, as we aim to develop a community of diverse talent. We seek to maintain a positive workplace, free from discrimination and harassment. We champion pay equity and mutual respect, promoting an environment of fairness and equality.

Compensation and Benefits: We know that the first step in hiring and retaining the best talent is to create safe and inspiring workplaces where people feel valued. We offer competitive compensation and benefits to all regular full-time and part-time employees, including but not limited to paid holiday, vacation, and sick time, and medical, dental, and vision coverage. We also offer a very generous profit-sharing compensation program that empowers our team members to act and feel like owners, not just employees.

Community: We strive to make a positive impact wherever we work. The results of our efforts touch our employees, contractors, suppliers and clients, as well as the communities in which we live and work. We have developed a Local Content Framework for our international operations that places great emphasis on locally hired labour and sourcing locally available materials and equipment. We do not view this as fulfilling the local procurement demands of project owners. Rather we feel it is required to be a good corporate citizen, and it is only common sense.

ECD Management recognizes that the utilization of local material and labour has the following benefits:

• Fosters community involvement
• Preserves local employment opportunities in the energy sector
• Reduces the environmental impact of commuting and transportation of materials and equipment

Our direct impact on local economies is measured in taxes, customs tariffs, the wages we pay to local workers, the promotion of our strong health and safety culture, and the wide range of initiatives we undertake to build supply chain capacity in communities.

Optimizing local content in our activities is one of the critical elements of success at ECD Management. Our interest is to create additional value to the communities we operate in by using local human and material resources in the services we render to the oil and gas industry.

Good governance is essential to creating and preserving value.

We view good governance as essential to creating and preserving value for our shareholders and other stakeholders. This includes a sound approach to corporate governance that complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies in the jurisdictions we operate and unwavering adherence to our values.

Ethics: Our directors and all employees, including senior management, conduct themselves in accordance with the highest moral and ethical standards, informed by a robust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct seeks to promote integrity and transparency in the conduct of our business and our relations with our colleagues, directors, shareholders and business partners, including customers, associates and suppliers, as well as governments, the public and the media. We live by our integrity and the transparency of our dealings; our reputation for ethical practices is one of our most valued assets and is crucial to our capacity to succeed. We are committed to ensuring a fair workplace for our employees and partners with whom we do business. We have strict policies to protect against unlawful discrimination and harassment. We have an Open-Door Policy to encourage honest and direct communication to resolve issues and concerns efficiently.
