Health and Safety
The promotion of a healthy and safe workplace is a fundamental responsibility of all employers. During 2008 we undertook a full assessment of our approach to health and safety globally and updated our Group Health and Safety Policy and supporting standards. Board level health and safety ‘champions’ have been appointed in every country that we operate, to own the health and safety agenda and to drive continual improvement. In addition, we have established an improved Group-wide reporting system for all health and safety incidents. All employees have access to the resources they need to enable them to achieve their personal and company health and safety objectives, and systems of work that contribute to a safe and healthy environment for our employees. We strive for health and safety excellence and are not driven by compliance alone.
