Security

ICL maintains a dedicated security policy based on implementing 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 included the establishment of a global security policy and a uniform standard for all parts of ICL, which meets and exceeds 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 the 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 our 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 our response to security information events.
• Physical & technological means to protect the server rooms in the business net and the ICS net (production). 

In Israel, where ICL operates a number of major production sites, the company implemented three-level “security rings” 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 & patrols. These include operating procedures to deal with evolving threats. Some of the sites in Israel receive guidance from  Police and the National Cyber Directorate, and all sites are subject to all relevant government ministry security guidelines, such as those of  the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of the Environment.

 All security personnel are guided by the security division of the Israel police.
