At Monument, we pride ourselves in being a leader within our communities. And if there’s one thing we value as much as the growth and development of our local area, it’s the growth and development for our people who live and work there. So when the opportunity emerged to nominate one of our own at Brandenburg to the Meade County Leadership program, we didn’t hesitate in doing so.

As we continue to enjoy Hispanic Heritage Month, we are reminded that celebrations like these are not just about dates on a calendar, but about the vibrant stories and rich traditions that make our employee stories and our company culture so unique.

At Monument, we take pride in the incredible diversity that our employees bring to the table. To truly appreciate the significance of this month, we've asked two of our team members to share a glimpse into their heritage and cherished traditions.

When it comes to emergency response, Monument's Port Arthur, Texas team has raised the bar – and they've got the numbers to prove it. A whopping 17 employees from the facility recently stepped up to become certified emergency medical responders (EMRs), and they've shown just how effective good training and great leadership can be.

August 20, 2023 will be a day that no one at Monument Bayport will soon forget.

The team’s unparalleled dedication to safety over the years has paid off in a major way — as Bayport officially hit 5 years OSHA recordable/injury free!

For over a decade, Monument’s Intern and Co-Op programs have brought together some of the area’s most talented, aspiring environmental scientists and engineers to sharpen their skills and get hands-on experience at our plants and in our labs. While their time with us has resulted in some incredible success stories, our business continues to benefit from their talent and work ethic in so many wonderful ways too. And this year’s talent delivered big time!

The newest member of the Monument family – our Port Arthur plant – was recently awarded ISO 9001 status, a significant milestone that will advance the site’s growth and enhance the capabilities of Monument as a whole. It joins Houston, Kallo, Brandenburg, and Bayport sites as ISO 9001 certified. The most impressive thing about Port Arthur’s new status is the time in which it was achieved!

For over a century, the Meade County Fair has brought thousands of smiles to the faces of kids and adults alike. From carnival games and rides to tractor pulls and animal exhibits, there is something for everyone. But this year, thanks to a dedicated group of our Brandenburg employees, science lovers also found their special place in the crowd!

In just a few words, “delivering every tank car safely” perfectly summarizes the mission of Monument Houston’s rail team. While that may seem simple enough, the efforts behind making this possible are anything but. And if anyone understands that, it’s the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). So when they recognize a chemical company in this area, it’s a big deal.

And this year, Monument Chemical took that achievement to the next level. We are proud to be one of less than 100 companies across the region to earn the 2022 Union Pacific Pinnacle Award, and it wasn’t the first time we’ve made the prestigious list. But it was under some of the most impressive circumstances yet!

Bryan Bailey is a pretty laid-back guy. But if there’s one thing he takes very seriously, it's our company’s security. Our new IT Security and Compliance Lead for Industrial Control Systems is not a new face to the Monument team, but he has recently taken on a new role to help us boost our security, efficiency, and transparency across all sites and functions.
