Social health, environment and safety management
Safety of our people and stakeholders is part of our core DNA. It is key to our project development and operations philosophy. We continuously work to adopt best practices, train our people and improve processes with ever-changing business environment.
We have also rolled out several environment and community related initiatives during the year. For example, we are implementing waterless cleaning solutions, to reduce usage of water in our operations and implementing rainwater harvesting for a more sustainable environment. Our dedicated teams continue to engage with communities around our operations. We impart training for skill improvement and create local employment opportunities within our operations. We work with local groups to improve health, education and nutrition of people around our sites
