Security

ICL maintains a dedicated security policy based on internal procedures and methodology, incorporating relevant Israeli and international laws and regulations. ICL’s security operations are conducted in full cooperation with local security forces. Security issues are examined routinely around the world as part of periodic internal controls.

Over the past few years, ICL has significantly improved its security readiness with respect to technological aspects and policy. This has included establishing a global security policy and a uniform standard for all parts of ICL that meet and exceed relevant standards. ICL is also implementing a global Fraud Prevention Plan. Full cooperation exists between security and regulatory systems on all relevant security issues. The Security department cooperates with Human Resources as part of recruitment procedures, as well as with legal, compliance, internal audit and CISO departments with respect to investigations and integrity. The Security department also advises, coordinates and distributes information to all ICL companies worldwide, and is also prepared to provide assistance in the event of an emergency at an ICL site.
In addition, ICL has implemented significant improvements in the security of its plants. These include: 

• Improvements in the level of security training and competency of employees and contractors to meet strict regulations.
• Improved measures/technological security systems peripheral cameras, motion detectors, radar, sites access control, etc.
• Improved security control centers for plants, some of which operate 24/7.
• Establishment of control procedures, periodic security surveys and security checks at the entrance to the Company’s facilities.
• Establishment of an information security integration forum to improve ICL’s response to security information events.
• Physical and technological means to protect the server rooms in the business net and the ICS net (production). 
• Security emergency drills and training.

In Israel, where ICL operates several major production sites, the Company has implemented three-level “security circles/rings/layers” at each of its plants. The “security rings” consist of an outer ring of physical security, including a fence and control gates; a middle ring of electronic security, including CCTV RADARs, sensors and multirotor; and an inner ring of security management consisting of control rooms, dedicated rooms for crisis management and patrols. These include operating procedures to deal with evolving threats. Some of the Israeli sites are guided by the National Police and the National Cyber Directorate, and all sites are subject to the relevant government ministry security guidelines, such as those of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of the Environment.

Israeli security personnel are approved and guided by the Israeli police security division.
