UN SDGs

Health and Safety

Why does it matter?

Keeping our employees, customers, and suppliers safe is our number one priority. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has continued to provide challenges around health and safety. During 2021, our operating companies had established plans and procedures in place and adhered to all local guidelines to ensure that our facilities are COVID secure, and our employees are safe.

Diversity and Inclusion

Why does it matter?

As an organisation, we want to employ the best people for the job and help them thrive. We know that we can only do this by considering talented people from the whole community, making our business attractive for them to join and by providing an environment where they can be themselves and give their best. If we can provide decent work for all of our people and ensure we have a workforce that is truly diverse, our business will perform to its absolute potential and achieve our ambitious economic growth plans, as well as deliver individual success.
