HSE PolicyOur guidelines for a safe future

Our position as a leading company in oil and gas exploration and production makes us keenly aware of our social responsibility. For this reason, occupational health, safety at work, and environmental protection are given top priority. Our guidelines to protect these values (health, safety, and environmental protection = HSE) are therefore a core element of how we see ourselves and are an important embodiment of the key objectives of our Company.

Policy for Health, Safety and Environment Protection (HSE)

As an important member of the BASF Group, Wintershall operates in the area of exploration and production of oil and gas. In this Wintershall combines financial success with societal accountability and protection of the environment.

Therefore Wintershall's management is strongly committed to adhere to the following HSE-principles:


  • We view HSE as an integral part of all our activities and strive for continuous improvement of our HSE performance. As a contribution to this we set our-selves ambitious goals and develop tailor-made HSE-solutions.
  • We are convinced: "Everybody counts." - Everyone working within the Wintershall organization contributes to the implementation of this policy through well-thought-out and dedicated action. This is equally valid for contractor companies of Wintershall.
  • We are going to perform our worldwide activities in such a manner, that we fulfill our societal responsibility, especially concerning our employees, contractor employees, our neighbors and the general public.
  • We rise to our responsibility for the global climate protection.
  • We pledge ourselves to adhere to international conventions, the local laws and our self-set standards while performing our worldwide activities. 

Economic success does not prevail over health, safety or environmental issues. Nothing is so urgent or important, that justifies neglecting these HSE principles.
