Every day, Methanex employees around the world
work together as one team to achieve our company
goals. Our team extends beyond our doors to include
collaborations with customers, supply chain partners,
government agencies, communities and other
stakeholders to develop sustainable solutions that
support our business, the environment and the global
communities in which we have a presence.
I am continually impressed by the dedication and
hard work of all our employees. 2013 was a very
productive year for Methanex and together we were
able to achieve record results. Throughout the year we
maintained a strong focus on Responsible Care, which
is at the core of our culture and our company practices.
Ensuring reliable production is criticalto our business.
In 2013, we made excellent progress towards reaching our
target of eight million tonnes of operating capacity by
early 2016. This capacity will allow us to meetthe needs
of our global customers as well as satisfy the increasing
demand for methanol for energy applications, which today
represents 40 per cent ofthe total methanol demand.
Some of our major accomplishments in 2013 include
the completion of expansion and restart projects at
our plants in Canada and New Zealand, respectively.
We also made significant progress on relocating
two of our plants from Chile to the U.S. Gulf Coast,
a remarkable feat both in terms of the engineering
logistics and the achievement of zero lost-time injuries
during more than 2.2 million hours worked.
Our primary concern is always the safety and well-being
of our employees, contractors and the communities
where we do business. With heightened activity at
many of our plant sites last year, we were pleased to
record an improvement in our employee recordable
injury frequency rate (RIFR). However, we were
disappointed to see a slight increase in the overall RIFR
in our contractor safety performance.
We are working closely with our contractor companies
to develop and implement improvement strategies.
Through our comprehensive safety and product
stewardship programs, we are dedicated to minimizing
risks during methanol transportation, be it by ship, rail
or truck. Rail safety figured prominently on the North
American public agenda in 2013, and we are committed
to working with industry and legislators to support
the highest regulatory standards and best industry
practices for the safe transportation of our product by
rail. Our rail safety efforts include collaborating with
stakeholders along transportation corridors and robust
fleet management and preventative maintenance
programs for the rail cars in our fleet. These ongoing
efforts have resulted in award-winning rail safety
performance for many years.
On the environmental side, we continue to manage our
use of natural resources and minimize our emissions
and waste wherever possible. We are excited to be
involved in a number of initiatives using methanol as
a clean-burning fuel with lower emissions. We have
also commissioned seven energy-efficient ships for our
Waterfront Shipping fleet that will run on flex fuels,
including methanol.
Creating positive and sustainable benefits in the many
communities where we operate is a key priority for us.
Around the globe, our employees work in partnership
with local organizations to manage the impact of our
operations, build relationships and invest in community
priorities that positively affect residents’ lives.
In the coming year our goals include moving forward
with our planned growth initiatives, running our
existing assets safely and reliably and driving
improved Responsible Care performance throughout
the organization. Achieving these goals will
require commitment, visible leadership and strong
partnerships across functions, disciplines and regions.
Our company is growing quickly and I believe that being
a global leader in Responsible Care will help us achieve
our vision. In our 2013 report, we profile the many ways
we work together as one team to improve our business
and champion this key component of our culture.
