Port Jerome, France
As the largest carbon black manufacturer in Europe, safety, health and environmental (SH&E) protection is a top priority in everything we do, and we are continually committed to providing a motivating and fulfilling work environment for all of our employees.
Our plant is located in the industrial zone of Port Jérôme and manufactures carbon blacks for elastomer reinforcement and specialty carbon blacks that are used in tires, industrial rubber products and other applications.
Built in the early 1960’s and acquired by Cabot in 1985, our team of nearly 90 employees consistently strives to apply our expertise in the production of semi-reinforcing and reinforcing carbon blacks while maintaining the highest safety and health standards for all of our employees, contractors, visitors and neighbors.
The site was selected at the national level for France Chimie's 2026 Responsible Care Awards in the Safety Category. The Last-Minute Risk Assessment or Safety Minute, has long been a core practice at our site, helping our team assess risks immediately before starting work. The refreshed approach has strengthened engagement, improved risk awareness, and reinforced a proactive safety culture across the site.
Commitment to Safety
Prioritizing Employee Well-being
Safety is our number one priority every day. We are committed to operating our site according to the highest SH&E standards to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Safety First
Every year we join our colleagues around the world to celebrate the Global Sustainability Day during which we discuss our SHE and sustainability accomplishments and ways to improve our performance.
The industrial environment in which we operate requires us to always act responsibly. At Cabot our main SH&E tool is the Last Minute Risk Assessment which must be completed just before starting work to provide a final review of the task at hand.
Engagement and leadership
We are strongly committed to the 5S philosophy for developing and maintaining a high quality work environment.
We strive for excellence and continuous improvement in everything we do, and we believe that a clean, organized and well-maintained workplace is key to achieving excellent safety performance.
ISCC PLUS CERTIFICATION
