Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)

2008 was a successful year for environmental, health and safety (EHS) within Actavis. Our incident rates continue to decrease and further operational sites worldwide have achieved independent certification of their EHS standards.

We remain fully committed to further expanding the number of sites gaining such independent certification and continuing to improve our overall environmental health and safety performance.

7 Actavis sites are now OHSAS 18001 certified:

Chiral, China
Iceland
Alathur, India
Jakarta, Indonesia
Nerviano, Itay
Zdravlje, Serbia
Turkey
