Corporate Responsibility

Corporate Responsibility embraces our commitment to Corporate Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Citizenship.

CSR means the voluntary integration of social and environmental concerns in all our business operations to realise a long-term, profitable growth. Oiltanking is already covering a large number of CSR-issues in its day-to-day business, these will now be addressed within a strategic approach.

The above mentioned topics are only examples for our activities in the area of Corporate Responsibility. We aim to broaden our engagement and expand it to new business facilities.

We published the first Sustainability Report based on the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) on holding level in 2011. Specific CSR programs and targets for continuous social and environmental improvements will be formulated individually with the Oiltanking profit centers.

Furthermore, a Code of Conduct was published to provide guidance of what we stand for and how we should behave when interacting with others. The Code of Conduct was distributed to all our employees and is available for download in 18 languages.
