Company Information
Oberhausen (euro adhoc) - Chemical company Oxea today announced that it has
received the Seal of Excellence in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry
category of the prestigious Corporate Health Awards. Under the patronage of the
German Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the New Quality of Work
Initiative (INQA), the Corporate Health Awards are presented each year by TÜV
SÜD Life Service, the German business paper Handelsblatt and EuPD Research to
recognize German companies which have displayed exemplary commitment to the
health of their employees and a forward-looking, sustainable personnel strategy.
Oxea's health strategy focuses on four different areas: movement, relaxation,
addiction prevention and nutrition. The company offers courses and special
activities in each area, so there is something for every employee, regardless of
whether they are in production and technology or in administrative and
commercial positions. At the end of each year, the company reviews the
activities; popular and established ones are continued and new ones are added.
"As a result of legal changes to the retirement age and the effects of
demographic change, many people will have to work to the age of 67. We want our
health management program to encourage employees to take an even more active
interest in this issue. The goal is to maintain physical and mental performance
on the job and at home. By following a health program, I am confident that our
employees will be healthier ten years from now and able to work longer," said
Dr. Martina Flöel, spokesperson for the Executive Board of Oxea. "Our
occupational health management program is therefore critical to our continued
success as a company."
Oxea is a global manufacturer of oxo intermediates and oxo derivatives, such as
alcohols, polyols, carboxylic acids, specialty esters, and amines. These
products are used for the production of high-quality coatings, lubricants,
cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, flavorings and fragrances, printing inks
and plastics. In 2011, Oxea generated revenue of about EUR 1.5 billion with its
1,365 employees in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
