3 From the Metso CEO Across the different businesses that make up Metso, many of our people find themselves working in potentially hazardous environments, and therefore, safety is very important. The impact of poor safety on each and every one of us, our friends and families, our colleagues and on our company can be devastating. Therefore, prioritizing the health, safety and well-being of our employees, customers and partners is fundamental to me and everyone at Metso. We all have a responsibility for safety, both as individuals and collectively. We all have the right to expect a safe working environment and therefore safeguarding the health of the people who work for Metso is fundamental. But world-class safety is also a sign of quality. Safe businesses are productive businesses. Our customers expect us to deliver quality products and services, but they also expect us to do it with no harm to individuals or to the environment. This means that each and every one of us must actively look out for things that threaten health, safety and well-being and help to eliminate or control them. World-class safety comes from a combination of having the right attitude, making the right decisions and taking the right actions.
