The ongoing disruption to key energy and petrochemical supply chains is creating meaningful challenges across global chemical markets. Constraints on production and logistics through critical export routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, are driving increased input costs and reduced availability across several product categories.

During periods like this, reliable logistics and diversified sourcing become critical, and Redox is actively supporting customers through these evolving conditions.

Redox’s global logistics capability enables product movements across more than 400 port pairs worldwide, supported by over 100 storage locations strategically positioned throughout key markets. Our sourcing team draws on a database of more than 7,000 manufacturers, including over 1,100 active suppliers across all major producing regions. This scale and flexibility allow Redox to rapidly redirect supply pathways, identify alternative sources, and maintain continuity wherever possible.

Across the market, Redox is observing broad-based inflation across a range of products, particularly those linked to energy and petrochemical feedstocks.

This includes polyethylene (PE) resins, where supply has tightened materially due to reduced output and disrupted export flows from major Middle Eastern producers. Upward pricing pressure is also being experienced across fertilisers, glycols, solvents, and sulphur-based products, reflecting higher feedstock costs and increased freight rates.

Many producers of downstream products have called Force Majeure and some governments have restricted exports and are introducing rationing to protect domestic consumers.

Redox’s role in times like these is to provide stability, transparency, and continuity. Our teams are working closely with suppliers and customers to secure alternative supply channels, optimise freight movements, and manage inventory positions across our global network.

We understand that disruptions of this scale create uncertainty. Our commitment is to remain agile, proactive, and fully engaged with customers to help navigate these conditions and minimise operational impact wherever possible.

Redox will continue to monitor developments closely and provide further updates as conditions evolve.

Last week, Redox brought together its Senior Leadership Team, Executive Committee, and Board for a two-day conference dedicated to strategic planning and leadership development. Throughout the event, participants engaged in thoughtful strategy discussions, explored new opportunities, and strengthened the leadership capabilities that will guide Redox into its next phase of growth.

Following the conference, Redox officially celebrated its 60th Anniversary with an unforgettable evening at The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden. The stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for honouring this incredible milestone and reflecting on six decades of innovation, dedication, and success.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. Each of you is an important part of the Redox family, and your commitment, passion, and support have helped shape our journey. This milestone belongs to all of us, and we look forward to continuing to build Redox’s success together.

In 2024, Redox conducted an employee engagement survey, which strongly affirmed our culture and the foundations that make Redox a great place to work. The outstanding results earned us a Great Place to Work certification, while also revealing areas for improvement that we are committed to addressing.

This certification was achieved through the valuable feedback provided by our employees, whose insights continue to guide us in making Redox an even better workplace. Their responses helped identify what we do well: a culture built on respect, safety, and opportunity while highlighting where we can grow to further strengthen our people-first approach. Importantly, this year, we have been able to obtain certification across Australia, New Zealand, and North America.

Building on that momentum, we are proud to announce that Redox has now been officially recognised as one of the Great Places to Work for 2025. This achievement reflects both the enduring loyalty of our people and our commitment to creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow.

As we strive for excellence, Redox has identified five key priorities that guide our journey:

To explore what makes Redox a truly great place to work, we asked our HR team to share their insights.

Culture & Recognition

What does being recognised as a Great Place to Work mean for Redox, and what do you think helped us achieve this milestone?

Being recognised as a Great Place to Work is a source of great pride for Redox. It reflects the positive culture, strong values, and shared commitment that define who we are as an organisation. This recognition reinforces that our people feel valued, supported, and connected to our purpose.

Our success in achieving this milestone is built on strong foundations, a culture of respect, open communication, and genuine care for our employees. By investing in our people, promoting collaboration, and maintaining a safe and inclusive workplace, Redox has created an environment where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.

Which of Redox’s values do you believe most contributed to earning this recognition?

All of Redox’s values play an integral role in defining our culture and guiding how we conduct ourselves both internally and externally.

Together, they set the standard for how we collaborate, support one another, and deliver excellence to our customers. It’s this consistent commitment to living our values every day that has helped Redox earn recognition as a Great Place to Work.

Tenure & Retention

What is the average tenure of Redox employees, and what does this say about our culture and employee loyalty?

The average tenure of Redox employees is approximately nine years, which reflects the stability of both our workforce and the business as a whole. This longevity demonstrates the loyalty and commitment of our people, many of whom have grown and developed alongside the company. Our steady growth over time allows employees to see the tangible impact of their contributions, further strengthening engagement, retention, and pride in being part of Redox’s ongoing success.

How do we support career growth and development to encourage long-term commitment from staff?

A significant portion of our workforce has been with Redox for many years, reflecting the company’s ability to foster long-term commitment and loyalty. As our people have grown and evolved with the business, so too have their development needs.

We support career growth by maintaining open and honest discussions about the company’s direction, goals, and future opportunities. This ensures that employees understand how their personal development aligns with Redox’s strategic objectives. Through ongoing training, mentoring, and development initiatives, we help our people build the skills and capabilities needed to progress in their careers while contributing to the organisation’s long-term success.

Benefits & Flexibility

Beyond salary, what extra benefits do employees value most , such as work-from-home flexibility, training opportunities, or other perks?

How do these benefits reflect Redox’s commitment to work–life balance and employee wellbeing?

Redox recognises that our employees are vital to the organisation’s success. By understanding our workforce and its diverse needs, we’ve developed a range of benefits to support both professional growth and personal wellbeing.

Our flexible work arrangements allow employees to manage their personal and professional responsibilities better, promoting a healthy work–life balance. The provision of a paid daily lunch fosters social connection and convenience during the workday, while our Employee Assistance Program offers confidential support for mental health and wellbeing. In addition, our attractive bonus structure rewards dedication and performance, reinforcing a culture of recognition and appreciation.

Together, these benefits demonstrate Redox’s strong commitment to employee wellbeing and maintaining a balanced, supportive workplace.

Community & Giving Back

How does Redox encourage and support staff involvement in charity and volunteer work?

Redox sponsors a paid volunteer day for employees who wish to dedicate their time to a charity of their choice. Some of the organisations our people have supported include:

We are also proud supporters of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Chemical Education Foundation, and we host a number of charitable events throughout the year such as the Biggest Morning Tea, Jeans for Genes Day, and R U OK? Day.

Looking Ahead

How do the five priorities; diversity and inclusion, securing the right talent, employer brand, closing the gender gap, and safety, shape Redox’s strategy for the future?

The five priorities form the foundation of Redox’s long-term people strategy.

By embracing diversity and inclusion, Redox cultivates a workplace that values different perspectives and drives innovation. Securing the right talent ensures we continue to attract and retain skilled professionals who can support the company’s growth and adapt to evolving market demands. A strong employer brand enhances our reputation as a preferred workplace, helping us stand out in a competitive industry.

Closing the gender gap promotes fairness and equal opportunity while reflecting our commitment to equity and progressive leadership. Finally, maintaining a strong focus on safety safeguards our workforce and reinforces a culture of care and responsibility.

Together, these priorities position Redox to build a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready organisation that can sustain long-term success.

What challenges do you foresee in maintaining Redox’s reputation as a Great Place to Work as we continue to grow globally?

As Redox continues to expand, one of the main challenges will be maintaining the strong culture and foundations that support our growing and diverse workforce. Rapid growth across regions can make it difficult to ensure consistent communication while upholding our core values and sustaining a high level of engagement across all sites.

Another challenge lies in adapting our policies and benefits to suit diverse cultural expectations, legal frameworks, and market conditions while still delivering a cohesive employee experience. Ensuring leaders across the business embody our values and foster inclusive, supportive environments will also be essential.

To address these challenges, Redox will continue investing in leadership development, transparent communication channels, and initiatives that reinforce our shared culture regardless of location. By doing so, we can preserve what makes Redox unique while evolving into a truly global, people-centred organisation.

We are currently experiencing another period of exceptionally high demand, which is significantly affecting ocean freight movements to and from Singapore, as well as across Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

Our Shipping Management Team advises that congestion in Singapore has reached a critical level, with continued disruptions expected in the weeks ahead. Shipping Lines have implemented a “First In, First Out” policy, limiting opportunities to advance shipments onto earlier vessels.

Feeder vessels from outports are also operating at full capacity, and shipping terminal congestion is causing many to miss scheduled connections with Singapore, further compounding delays.

 Carrier-Specific Updates

While refrigerated (reefer) cargo and medical equipment or supplies will receive priority handling, these shipments may still experience the delays noted above.

We understand these disruptions may impact your planning, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as Shipping Lines work to restore normal schedules, but we do not expect this to occur until later in the year.

For any urgent requirements or further assistance, please contact your Redox representative.
