17 Similarly, our zero-tolerance approach to discrimination and harassment ensures a safe and equitable workplace across all our locations, including corporate o ces, project sites, and construction areas. We are pleased to confirm that no substantiated complaints regarding discrimination or harassment were reported during the same period. Number of substantiated complaints concerning discrimination or harassment in the workplace received in FY2022, 2023, and 2024: None Reported Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth Our Approach We are committed to zero incidents of major or severe injury and zero fatalities across all our places of business and construction sites at all times. We continue to implement rigorous monitoring and improvement on-site with our aim to reduce incident rates. We will not rest on our laurels and will continue to strive to ensure a safe and secure workplace is maintained. We believe that all of our workers and labourers who come to work must go back safely. We ensure that all construction sites have competent health and safety o cers. The health and safety o cer is responsible for performing a risk assessment based on the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (“HIRARC”) Guideline issued by the Department of Safety and Health. The project manager of every construction site also ensures that all mitigation actions are put in place and continuously complied with. The sustainability committee assist the board in overseeing the management of health and safety risks across all our sites. The sustainability committee also acts as Tropicana’s health and safety committee. This is because health and safety are linked to other sustainability matters such as climate change, human rights and labour practices. We are aware that the increasing prevalence of severe weather conditions such as heatwaves, floods and drought presents a health and safety threat to our workers and the general public at large. We have clear work-stop order policies in the face of extreme weather events. With respect to human rights and labour rights, better work and living conditions reduce instances of human fatigue and improve alertness, which reduces health and safety risks. We, therefore, take a holistic and multipronged approach to reducing and further mitigating any health and safety risk. Furthermore, e ective project management and adoption of innovative construction approaches such as aluminium formworks also reduce exposure to health and safety risks – as we reduced the man-hours required at the site. The health and safety risk assessment is maintained and reviewed continuously for all our premises and construction sites. This ensures adequate control measures are in place to detect and prevent any untoward incidents. We are aware that construction sites are regarded as high-risk sites given the nature of construction projects. Hence, we ensure heightened scrutiny and compliance monitoring. Any non-compliance to our health and safety requirements is dealt with within the specified timeline, based on its nature and urgency. Our health and safety risk assessment is performed during the construction planning stage and continuously reviewed until the successful handover of our properties to their respective owners. As a result of integrating health and safety risk assessment, we can identify and integrate measures at the planning stage. An example would be where our construction site and activity is exposed to seismic activity, we ensure that we comply with additional measures such as adherence to MS EN 1998-1:2015 – the construction standard for seismic resistance for building OCCUPATIONAL, SAFETY & HEALTH Goal 3: Good Health & Wellbeing Related UNSDGs Why This Is Important Health and Safety is a vital aspect of our business in ensuring business continuity as well as safeguarding our employees and all workers at our premises and construction sites, contributing to the overall success and sustainability of the business. This extends to workers, contractors, direct or indirect sub-contractors, or any employees employed by them and any other members of the public. 157 SUSTAINABILITY
