Our ambition in the second pillar of our sustainability strategy is to continuously prioritise and improve upon the safety and security of our workplace. We safeguard the health and wellbeing of everyone who is on our sites, including our employees, contractors, suppliers and visitors. From a security point of view, we also protect the integrity of our operations, including site transport buses and our people on business travel. We strongly believe this is critical to the ongoing success of the Company’s operations, activities and projects,
and also to safeguard human rights.
We are developing a global health, safety and security management system that creates a robust compliance environment with policies, procedures, systems and controls aimed at embedding a positive safety culture inside and outside our Company. This allows us to measure, mitigate and/ or minimise our health, safety and security risks, and learn from accidents, incidents and near misses. Led by our Head of Health, Safety and Environment we continuously refresh our training and development opportunities to reinforce our commitment to injury-free time across our employees, contractors, suppliers and visitors.
