QSHE at Nectar Group

At Nectar Group, quality, safety, health and environmental responsibility are integral to the way we manage cargo handling operations worldwide. From terminals and ports to mobile equipment, warehousing and logistics services, we aim to protect people, cargo, assets and the environment while delivering dependable operational performance.

Our global approach is supported by experienced local teams who understand the conditions, regulations and operational challenges of the locations in which we work. Through robust procedures, risk assessment, training, maintenance and continuous review, we work to identify hazards early, manage risk effectively and improve performance across every stage of the operation.

Nectar Group’s ultimate goal is zero accidents and zero injuries. We promote a positive safety culture in which every individual has a responsibility to work safely and the authority to stop any activity they believe presents an unacceptable risk. This commitment is underpinned by regular toolbox talks, pre-start briefings, inspections and proactive equipment maintenance. Nectar technicians carry out regular risk assessments and implement suitable controls to minimise the risk of injury, equipment damage and environmental impact.

Environment

Nectar Group works to minimise the environmental impact of its operations and equipment across its global locations. This includes reducing the potential for pollution, managing resources responsibly and supporting more sustainable operating practices.

Nectar designs and manufactures its COMPAC bagging equipment and other port machinery to minimise environmental impact throughout its service life. Components and substances that could deteriorate and harm the environment during normal operation and maintenance are avoided. Engineering choices prioritise durability and stability, reducing the risk of material breakdown and environmental contamination. Equipment is 98% recyclable at end of life, supporting a more circular and environmentally responsible approach to industrial machinery.

• Comply with applicable international, national and local environmental requirements
• Prevent and control potential releases to soil, water and air
• Maintain spill prevention and response arrangements where required
• Reduce waste through responsible purchasing, reuse and recycling
• Use water, energy and materials efficiently
• Consider environmental impacts when planning operations, maintaining equipment and developing new solutions
