MANAGEMENT APPROACH We are only as strong as our people. With a capable, motivated and upwardly mobile workforce, we have a pipeline of talent to pursue sustainable growth. Governance and Organisation The Group Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and the Human Resources (HR) leadership team oversee the policies and facilitate the engagement on all people issues across the Group. The CHRO reports directly to the Group President & CEO. He works closely with the EXCO and senior management to advise them on global best practices and the implementation of the Group’s people policies. Our people and culture strategy seeks to: • Enhance our capability and capacity for growth • Build a passionate and engaged workforce • Position us at the forefront of people practices We implement our people and culture strategy in the following areas: • Diversity and Inclusion • Employee Engagement • Health and Wellness • Recruitment • People Development & Learning • Performance Management and Rewards • Labour Relations 1. Diversity and Inclusion We recognise that we work in an industry where there are more male employees in our technical workforce. We are committed to fair employment practices and offer merit-based equal opportunities to all, including promoting training and skills development. We do not condone personal bias or prejudice and advocate for fair recognition. We do not discriminate according to age, race, nationality, religion, gender or marital status. We are committed to providing a work environment free from discrimination or harassment of any type. ST Engineering embraces fair employment practices and complies with all national and local labour laws and regulations where we operate. We uphold Principle 6 of the United Nations Global Compact on eliminating discrimination. • We recruit and select employees based on merit, such as skills, experience or ability to perform the job -- regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status, family responsibilities or disability • We treat our employees fairly and with respect and dignity • We provide our employees with equal opportunities for training and development based on their strengths and needs to help them achieve their potential • We reward employees based on their ability, performance, contribution and experience ST Engineering employees are guided by our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (Code). A vital tenet of the Code is to promote non-discrimination and anti-harassment at the workplace. Our employees develop an understanding of the different types of discrimination and how it can affect the workforce through our training session on the Code. Our suppliers are similarly guided by our Vendor Code of Conduct that requires them to respect fundamental international principles regarding nondiscrimination, anti-harassment and practice fair employment practices. Our HR Policy provides a process to manage grievances due to harassment, discrimination and other prohibited conduct. Employee grievances are promptly looked into and addressed. No individual will suffer reprisals or retaliation for reporting genuine grievances, making complaints, or participating in an investigation. Management at all levels, supported by their respective HR teams, is responsible for ensuring that we provide a work environment free from discrimination or harassment. 2. Employee Engagement Employee engagement is a priority for the Group in order to obtain useful feedback and clarify and allay staff concerns. It also helps us build confidence in our leadership actions and the direction of the Group as we address market challenges and opportunities.
