Employee Health, Safety & Wellbeing
Recognising the vital role our people play in our operations, we implement comprehensive safety protocols and wellbeing initiatives to protect them from hazards and support their overall wellness.
In addition to complying with local and international health and safety regulations, guided by robust policies and our Health and Safety Committee, we actively promote physical and mental wellbeing, work-life balance, and a supportive, rewarding work environment for all employees.
Fostering Safe And Productive Workplaces
We ensure safe work environments by actively identifying and mitigating risks through Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) systems and regular assessments.
In 2024, we developed and approved our Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy, which is aligned with the Axiata Code of Conduct. Guided by this policy, we are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible manner and fostering health and safety practices that prevent work-related injuries and illnesses.
