Health and Safety remains a priority issue for KCG. The Group’s work environment policy was revised in 2013. The company’s work environment network is intensely active and extra resources have been allocated to introduce benchmarking across KCG focused on internal learning, greater collaboration and transparency. A key focus of activities in recent years has been on improving the safety culture by changing behaviors at work. The improvement in reporting accidents, incidents and risk observations has led to a rise in the number of incidents and risk observations. This forms an important part of the Group’s preventive health and safety work.
In recent years, the Group has seen a positive trend concerning the number of accidents. Work is now moving forward to achieve KCG vision of being a zero accident organization.

KCG strives to fill a large proportion of all managerial vacancies through internal recruitment, in order to provide employees with clear career paths and opportunities to grow within the internal organization.
