EXCO Safety Walkabout One key initiative driven by our leadership is the annual EXCO Safety Walkabout, where senior executives visit operational sites to personally engage with employees and ensure that safety practices are being followed. These walkabouts emphasise the importance of safety at all levels of the organisation, and serve as a critical opportunity for leaders to observe, assess, and reinforce safety protocols directly in the field. The presence of senior management not only underscores the importance of safety awareness but also demonstrates the Group’s commitment to creating a safe and productive work environment. In 2024, the EXCO Safety Walkabout was organised by our Digital Systems business area which took place at the Advanced Network & Sensors warehouse at ST Engineering Hub. Group Safe Work Environment Engagement Programme (SWEEP) In 2024, we rolled out SWEEP across all business areas. This initiative aims to reinforce compliance with the Group’s EHS Cardinal Rules and raise awareness of workplace hazards. The bi-yearly safety walkabouts involve senior leaders conducting inspections of facilities and engaging employees on safety matters. Additionally, employees reaffirm their commitment to safety by signing the ST Engineering Safety Pledge. Each business area leads its own SWEEP programme, customising it to address the specific risks and challenges unique to its operations. We Uphold Global Standards of Safety and Health ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems and Global Compliance We adhere to internationally recognised standards, such as ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. Compliance with these standards ensures that our safety management system remains consistently aligned with both best practices and regulatory requirements. Our internal audit process, along with third-party audits, ensure that our operations consistently meet these high standards, satisfy compliance requirements and enhance our overall safety performance. Vendor and Contractor Safety Compliance Vendors are held to the same high standards of safety as our internal teams. As part of our vendor management process, we ensure they are informed of and adhere to our WSH policies, and collaborate with them to address safety issues and maintain accountability. Our on-site supervisory teams work closely with vendors to ensure they meet all safety requirements. In cases of serious non-compliance, we may implement strict corrective actions, which could include the termination of contracts if necessary.
