Emergency Preparedness
Emergency preparedness is an essential aspect
of our operations. Thus our facilities are equipped
with first-aid kits, firefighting systems and have in
place adequate response plans, spill prevention
and other programs to respond to emergencies.
During the year, 15 Group employees received
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid
training which covers the practical skills needed by
first aiders in the event a person is injured or taken ill
at the company’s work premises.
During the year, the Group did not incur any fines
or sanctions for non-compliance with environmental
laws or regulations.
Business Improvement Processes (BIP)
The Group firmly believes in continuously improving business processes in order to achieve cost efficiencies in production
through increased specialisation and investments in key technologies as well as optimising our environmental footprint in every
phase of the value chain. As such, the Group conduct regular BIPs to ensure we stay on track. This year has been no exception,
and the table below summarises the BIP projects that were undertaken this year:

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018
Safety briefings precede daily activities for most of our businesses to
ensure employees are focused on performing the tasks at hand as quickly
and safely as possible. These briefings primarily cover:
• The sequence of a task or a job;
• Potential hazards involved;
• Appropriate equipment to be used;
• Personal protective equipment needed; and
• Emergency response.
