INCLUDING THOSE IN THEIR VALUE CHAINS
People well-being
The Company is committed to Diversity 360—diversity, equity, and inclusion. We aim to create the environment and
opportunity for all facets of diversity to thrive, enabling employees to reach their full potential. The Company fosters
a growth mindset and has a lifelong and collaborative learning philosophy. Tools and resources are available for
people at every career level, from technical to ‘soft’ skills. The employee value proposition (EVP) forms the basis of
talent attraction strategy. It reflects the Purpose, the scale and impact of the Company’s work, how diversity leads
to great innovation, and how employees are empowered to develop their careers. The Company encourages its
people to mentor or learn from others as a mentee regardless of their level, tenure, or age. There are four types
of mentorships available: leadership mentoring, career mentoring, reverse mentoring, and onboarding mentoring.
The Company is committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education (GRI 404-2). In 2021,
the Company promoted learning for all within the organization through new on-demand learning platforms and
Female Talent Development Program. Externally, we created partnerships with schools to promote our industry and
activate interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Company is also committed to
closing the gender representation gap to promote a gender balanced workplace and elevate equity. The aim is to
ensure women are promoted and platformed to succeed within the company at every level of the organization. The
Company grades jobs objectively and follows the internal standard process to assess the level of each job profile
consistently and fairly. The Company offers various career progression opportunities and enable employees with
relevant experience and qualifications to move across different levels and career paths, allowing them to grow
professionally and financially within the organization.
Health Safety and Environmental performance is critical for the Company and comes first in its decision-making.
Safety is a key element in our ‘license to operate’. The company’s Health and Safety policy defines the health
and safety approach and covers organization, responsibilities, and accountabilities. The approach to health and
wellbeing is informed by numerous sources, including implementing key international principles from the World Health
Organization and relevant international conventions and standards, such as those governed by the International Labor
Organization. The Company has nearly 50 professionals focused on occupational health and industrial hygiene across
its locations. They are helping provide positive health and wellbeing work environments in line with the three elements
of our health wheel: 1. Physical health: Participation-based wellness programs to motivate behavior change, drive
engagement, and increase engagement with better health practices 2. Mental health: Proactive mental wellbeing
management is a part of our upcoming strategies 3. Occupational health: Ensuring safe workplace and working
conditions by complying with the applicable occupational health and industrial hygiene standards.
