Managing Environmental Risks

Health, Safety & Environment

Etihad Trading Ltd has a longstanding unwavering commitment to environmental health and safety. Commitment to the safety of our employees, contractors, customers and communities means being proactive in carrying out fuel storage and distribution responsibly.

These efforts include using natural resources efficiently and eliminating or minimizing potential hazards to land, water, air and wildlife in our operations.
