Safety is a core cultural value embedded in KNPC's 2040 strategic vision. The Local Marketing Department secured the Gold Medal for the eighth consecutive year, while the Main Building and Projects Department earned the Gold Medal classification for the ninth consecutive year, further demonstrating KNPC's commitment to safety.
Al-Mutairi stated that KNPC employees are the driving force behind the company's success. She encouraged everyone to stay updated on KNPC's progress by following the company's updates on its website, Instagram, and Facebook.
The Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery and the Mina Abdullah Refinery also received recognition. The Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery received the Gold Award classification, while the Mina Abdullah Refinery was awarded the RoSPA Medal of Excellence for maintaining its outstanding safety record for 20 consecutive years.
In conclusion, the RoSPA Award recognition further underscores KNPC's ongoing commitment to employee well-being and operational safety, setting a high standard for the petroleum industry in Kuwait and beyond.
