We prioritise the well-being of our employees, partners and communities by maintaining rigorous health and safety standards while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
Our approach
At Savannah, HSE&S is fundamental to the way we operate and deliver sustainable value. We are committed to protecting the wellbeing of our employees, contractors, suppliers and visitors, safeguarding the environment, and maintaining the security and integrity of our operations. These commitments support our long-term performance and our responsibility to respect human rights across all activities.
Our portfolio spans different geographies and project types, each with its own risk profile. We recognise that evolving operations require adaptable and proportionate HSE&S management, and we apply a consistent, risk-based approach that is tailored to the nature and scale of each project.
Our HSE&S framework is built on robust management systems that set clear expectations through policies, procedures and controls. These systems support compliance with applicable laws and standards, enable effective risk identification and mitigation, and promote continuous improvement through the analysis of incidents, near misses and performance trends.
Strong leadership, accountability and competence underpin our approach. We invest in ongoing training and development for our workforce and contractors, reinforcing a positive safety culture and our commitment to preventing injuries, minimising environmental impacts and ensuring secure operations across all sites.
Prioritising security
Security remains a critical factor of safe and efficient operations across all areas of Savannah’s activities. We continue to deliver security support across a range of complex operations, many of which are undertaken in remote and challenging environments. Security arrangements are adapted to reflect operational requirements, with appropriate resources deployed to address terrain, logistical and access constraints. Ongoing monitoring and intelligence gathering supports the early identification of potential security risks, while close coordination between our security and CSR teams ensures effective communication and a timely, proportionate response to emerging issues.
Maintaining strong networks with external stakeholders remains central to Savannah’s security approach. Continuous engagement with local police, military authorities and government officials supports information sharing and ensures that additional security resources can be mobilised when required.
Human rights
By adhering to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, we ensure that our operations align with internationally recognised standards. Savannah has a stringent set of policies, regulations and work practices, underpinned by our Human Rights Policy and our Code of Ethics.

Implementing our Contractor Safety Improvement Campaign
A review of safety observation reports in November 2025 identified a number of potentially unsafe acts and at-risk behaviours (42 cases) at the Uquo CPF in Nigeria, predominantly involving contractors. In response, we launched the “Contractor Safety Improvement Campaign” at the Uquo CPF site at the beginning of December 2025 to reinforce personal safety accountability and behavioural expectations.
The campaign targeted all site personnel, with a particular focus on contractors. It emphasised the potential consequences of unsafe acts, including high-potential incidents, to reinforce the importance of safe behaviours. Strong support from site management ensured effective communication and engagement across the workforce.
The campaign rollout was well received, with a clear understanding of its objectives and active participation on site. By the end of December 2025, a reduction to 31 reported unsafe acts and at-risk behaviours was recorded, indicating an immediate positive impact on safety performance. Observation trends will continue to be monitored to measure effectiveness, with the objective of achieving a sustained reduction in the recurrence of previously identified unsafe behaviours.
