23 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2023 PILLAR 1: HUMAN CENTRIC Safety, Health & Well-Being Health and Well-being At the workplace, we are committed to providing a safe working environment and promoting a holistic well-being for our employees with a healthy work-life balance. We actively engage our employees across multiple levels to reinforce that health and safety are a shared responsibility. Policies are put in place at the Group level on our Intranet such as the “Employee Health and Safety”, the “No Violence Workplace” sections under the Group HR Policy and the “Discrimination and Harassment” sections from our Code of Conduct and Business Ethics to clearly outline appropriate behaviour at the workplace. In addition, we have incorporated local company policies and operating practices addressing health, safety, and well-being to cater to local contexts. All employees must follow company policies and guidelines from the Group Human Resource and Compliance departments. If an employee identifies a potential hazard, they are required to raise the issue to their manager or HR without delay. We recognise that health and well-being, including mental health, are core enablers of organisational performance. To promote these areas across the Group, we organised regular online and in-person health and well-being initiatives such as “Good Ergonomics for Better Workplace Health” webinar, as well as various workplace fitness programmes. All eligible1 employees, including contract and/or part-time employees, have access to a comprehensive welfare and benefits programme ranging from health and risk insurance coverage, pension plan obligations/social security contributions, wellness initiatives, as well as various types of leave schemes. These include parental leave, family care and childcare leave subject to local jurisdictions. Such practices provide our employees with more flexibility in managing caregiving demands. At our premises, we strive to incorporate recreational facilities, break-out areas, pantries stocked with healthy foods and improved access to nature via green trails. 1 Subject to eligibility conditions applicable to the respective markets. If and where applicable, pro-ration may be adopted. Intentional conversations on safety: Site ‘STOP’ for Safety We recognise the importance of raising safety awareness and fostering conversations on related topics. In Australia, LOGOS organised a safety event at our largest development with 400+ workers in attendance. We collaborated with a large customer, where the development site was stopped for the morning to cater for several guest speakers, making a safety pledge and organising a barbeque. As this customer has a significant contractor presence on-site, a collaboration on this event brought amplified importance around workplace safety, benefiting not just the site, but closer working relations across both companies. The guest speakers shared about the importance of safety at work, emphasising on personal relevance, speaking up and taking actions. At the development site, a message board was set up to encourage all workers to write a personal pledge under the heading “I work safely because…” to relate the day to something personal and unique for each individual. We received positive feedback from several general contractors who expressed their appreciation that a developer took the time and interest to organise such an event to raise safety awareness and standards.
