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.

Sustainability : Social

in internal or external workshops and seminars. We also

believe that a combination of both formal and informal

learning channels develops targeted skills and knowledge

for a specific role. For example, our businesses regularly

conduct informal on-the-job training and refresher courses

on the use of apparatus and machinery, loining and skinning

of fish and fertilizer application to address the skill gaps

created by changes inter alia in knowledge, technology and/

or work processes.

We also encourage our people to look beyond their

experiences and current practices by undertaking job

rotation and overseas assignments for exposure in different

markets. Where headcount reductions are necessary,

affected employees are redeployed to new job tasks where

retraining and skill upgrading is provided to help them

transition into the new tasks.

All new employees undergo an induction program to help

them familiarize themselves with all aspects of the Company

and the Group, understand the responsibilities of their

new role, the culture of our business and the processes

they need to follow as well as our expectations for ethical

conduct. They were also provided with the Employee

Handbook before, or as soon as they start their new job. The

Handbook provides new employees with information about

their conditions of employment as well as the standards of

professional behaviour expected.

Safety briefings are routine pre-requisites that precedes

the daily activities for most of our businesses. This ensures

employees are focused on performing the tasks at hand

as quickly and safely as possible. These briefings primarily

serve as a daily reminder of the job/task sequence and the

potential hazards which may be present. Emphasis is always

given on the need to wear proper attire and on the use of

appropriate equipment. Emergency response plans are an

important element in the Group’s occupational safety and

health programme as it provides guidance to employees on

the steps to be taken in the event of an emergency.

Employee Development and Engagement

We view career development as part of our commitment

to building a more efficient, highly motivated and talented

team to ensure that the Group can remain agile and

responsive in competitive environments. Every year, training

allocation is available for our employees to participate
