Health and safety policy

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace to protect all employees, visitors and the public from foreseeable work hazards. We are also committed to complying with the applicable legislation of the countries in which we operate.

We consider health and safety as equal in importance to that of any other function of the group and its business objectives. We require our businesses to improve their safety performance year on year.

People’s health and safety at work is a prime responsibility for all those who manage and supervise.

All employees and those working on our behalf have a responsibility for the health and safety of themselves and others who may be affected by their actions. We will ensure that they are well informed, appropriately trained and are consulted on matters affecting their health and safety.

The chief executive of each business has overall responsibility.

Key to our success has been our highly decentralised approach, which allows each of our businesses to develop their own approaches to corporate responsibility.
