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
