Core Values

Safety

Safety is our top priority at Altiras. We are committed to protecting our employees, as well as the employees of our customers and service providers. Our dedication to a zero-injury workplace drives us to provide comprehensive training tailored to the unique needs of each role. Depending on job responsibilities, Altiras employees may receive training in critical areas such as OSHA compliance (40-hour HAZWOPER, HAZCOM, general and specialized training), RCRA and state regulations, DOT regulations, Homeland Security regulations, and more. This proactive approach ensures a safe and compliant work environment for everyone involved.

Resource Conservation

Resource conservation is vital, regardless of energy or raw material costs. Wasting resources contradicts our core values and undermines sustainability efforts. Producing chemical and petroleum raw materials and finished products requires significant energy investment. When these products are burned or discarded, their full resource potential is lost. By prioritizing the reuse of industrial chemicals and petroleum products, we can significantly contribute to conserving valuable resources and maximizing their long-term value.

Product Stewardship & Responsible Distribution

Product stewardship as our core value is the result of a fundamental belief in the value of life and our environment on a global scale. Altiras is very careful to ensure that our suppliers, service providers, and customers clearly understand the risks and proper safety and handling necessary for all products that we sell. We believe it is in our best interest to verify that all parties have the necessary information, management, systems, and practices to safely handle our products.

Employees

We believe our employees are our most valuable asset. We are dedicated to fostering a positive work environment that supports personal and professional growth through opportunities for learning, development, and career advancement. By prioritizing respect, collaboration, and inclusivity, we empower our team to reach their full potential. This commitment ensures our employees thrive, driving the success and future of our company.

Environment

We commit to protecting the health and well-being of our employees, our customers, the community, and the environment. “Beneficial Reuse” has fast become a popular catchphrase among environmental companies and HSE personnel. The philosophy behind beneficial reuse, however, is what we believe in. The destruction of usable materials due to a lack of knowledge is an environmental failure. The chemicals and petroleum products we invest in possess inherent value. Realizing that value is symbiotic with eliminating waste and protecting the environment.

Quality Policy

Altiras is dedicated to supporting the success of our customers, suppliers, and partners by delivering value-added products and services that meet and exceed stringent requirements. Our Quality Assurance Process is integral to our mission, embedded in strategic planning, training, and daily operations. Through this process, we ensure our work consistently conforms to and surpasses expectations, driving continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

Leadership

Altiras strives to lead and motivate by example and consistently live up to these core values. We coach, train, develop, and empower employees to reach their full potential. View our Leadership Team.

Continuous Improvement

We believe that if you are not moving forward, you are falling behind. For that reason, we have made continuous improvement one of our core values. We will improve results for all our stakeholders by doing the right things better every time.

Ethics & Code of Conduct

We treat every individual in our business with integrity and honesty and require that all employees comply with federal and local laws and appropriate ethical standards as a condition of their employment. All employees must comply with the Altiras Code of Business Conduct.
