BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY & SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
b. c. d.  What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-
routine basis by the entity?
The Company identifies and assesses HSE risks and opportunities across the organization, ranging from
individual actions to enterprise-level activities. A specialized and standardized audit program monitors
the accuracy of our risk analysis, the program’s efficiency, and the identification of opportunities. Health
Safety and Environmental impacts of each of our operating units are also assessed according to the ISO
14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and ISO 50001:2018 standards. This information is used to identify and
report hazards and opportunities for improvement available in a company-wide web-based tool. Based on
findings within our assessment program, tasks carried out by or on behalf of the Company involving hazards
with a high level of risk receive deeper analysis. Additional controls are implemented to ensure the safety
and health of all employees and contractors, as well as to prevent environmental harm or damage.
 Whether you have processes for workers to report the work-related hazards and to remove themselves
from such risks. (Y/N)
Yes, a company-wide web-based tool is available to report work related hazards and incidents. Each
Accountable Manager is aware of the entity’s top five risks and, considering these in conjunction with its
top five incident categories, develops appropriate action plans for reducing the risks and implementing
improvements. Action plans are reviewed twice annually and updated as necessary. We believe that a person
who feels ownership of the safety process shifts from a reactive worker to a proactive business partner who
shares decision rights to protect and sustain a workplace free of injury, illness, or other loss.
 Do the employees/ worker of the entity have access to non-occupational medical and healthcare services?
(Yes/ No)
Yes

12. Describe the measures taken by the entity to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Safety is vital to our ‘license to operate’ and being a business that people want to work for or with. We minimize
risk of harm and are committed to eradicating fatalities, life-changing injuries, and major environmental incidents.
Workers are protected against reprisals. Errors are accepted and expected, regardless of seniority, geography,
or experience. These errors are addressed through a dedicated consequence management approach — Fair
Process — that favors error prevention through learning.
The Company’s leaders and managers create an open and transparent reporting environment without fear
of retaliation to promote the early detection and honest reporting of errors. Strong workers’ participation at
the local level manages early detection, helping define relevant solutions to prevent errors that may lead to
injuries and/or environmental and asset damages Fair Process assessments address an individual’s behaviors
and, most importantly, their line management. People act according to, but not limited to, their leadership
environment. When breaches to HSE requirements are identified, they are openly reported by workers and
managed accordingly by the individual’s line management. This open reporting of breaches is understood as
the best way to improve current practices and related standards to prevent harm to people, the environment,
and assets. This open reporting environment is free from disciplinary action and retaliation when performed in
due time.
