Environmental, Health and Safety is a key component of Ferro’s Core Values & Behaviors and we believe that to be a winning organization, we must be committed to helping our people end their work day at least as healthy and safe as they were when they started it.

Ferro's company-wide safety management system is called Safe from Within.  

Safe from Within supports our beliefs that all accidents can be prevented and that protecting the health and safety of our employees, customers, neighbors, partners, and protecting the environment are integral to the way we conduct all our business practices, at all times. The policies and procedures of Safe from Within are the roadmap to our ultimate safety goal of achieving an injury-free workplace that is in full compliance with all applicable rules and laws.

We are proud to share with you our EHS beliefs and commitments:

Legal, ethical and safe behavior is condition of employment for all Ferro Corporation employees and contractors and is driven by our leading Core Value:
TRUST IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FUTURE.

We believe that we win as an organization when each of us conducts ourselves with complete integrity. Legal, ethical and safe behaviors build and maintain trusting, productive relationships with each other, and with our external stakeholders: Ferro's customers, shareholders, vendors and suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.

We believe that every Ferro employee, contractor and visitor to our sites, as well as our neighbors, deserve our best efforts to ensure safe, accident-free environments.

In support of these beliefs, Ferro will:
