Sustainability report

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.
