MATHESON's "The Right Way" Program for Safety, Quality, Customer Focus, and Sustainability


Basking Ridge, NJ - MATHESON has launched a public-facing program focused on providing insight into the Company's principles of Safety, Quality, Customer Focus, and Sustainability. The program is described on the Company's web site at http://www.Mathesongas.com/TheRightWay.

MATHESON calls the program "The Right Way." By naming the program "The Right Way," MATHESON is able to harmonize the public-facing presentation of its principles with its existing internal programs. "Focusing on Safety, Quality, Customer Focus, and Sustainability is not a new idea at MATHESON.

'The Right Way' is a name that is continuous with existing programs at MATHESON," says MATHESON Chairman and CEO, William J. Kroll. "It's a simple phrase that succinctly embodies our outlook in how we do things."

According to Rick Kowey, Executive Vice President and MATHESON's Chief Marketing Officer, "As a solution provider on a global scale, it became important that we articulate our core principles in a way that is open and visible to our stakeholders as well as the communities in which we operate.

This is not just about what happens inside MATHESON. It also involves our supply chain, partners, and customers."

At the core of The Right Way Program is the safety and well-being of MATHESON employees and customers, stewardship for the environment and the community, assurance of uninterrupted supply of product, and exemplary service for the industries MATHESON serves, as well as the long term strength of MATHESON itself.

Quality and customer focus are also core elements of a sustainable MATHESON business model. By providing customers with the right product, in the right quantity, and at the right time, while delivering on our commitments and sustaining it all through continuous improvement, we provide the uncompromising value necessary to sustain our business over the long term.

On the MATHESON web site, the description of The Right Way Program covers the triple-bottom line areas of Environmental Sensitivity, Community Support, and Financial Performance. Metrics are provided for safety, greenhouse gas production, resource consumption, and energy use. In addition, MATHESON has begun publishing Case Reports intended to document specific The Right Way Program success stories. The Company intends to publish additional Case Reports on an ongoing basis.
