Sustainability Report 2019

Employee wellness We encourage our employees to maintain good health and we run wellness programmes in many of our regions. LiveUp is a health and wellness campaign launched in our Ukrainian business in 2019 with the aim of improving the health, safety and wellbeing of employees and those in the local communities. Dozens of activities and events during the first year of the campaign covered areas such as living a greener lifestyle, health checks and community improvement. The programme improved staff health, morale and engagement and enhanced the company’s reputation internally and locally. A year-long 2019 wellness programme in India was initiated after a couple of health events among employees highlighted the need. It had a very local flavour, with yoga lessons, a celebration of pulses day, box cricket, monsoon trek added to health checks, marathon running, and regular fitness and healthcare sessions. It has been so well-received that it is set to be a permanent feature. At our plant at Bodaczow, Poland, regular Health at Work days give employees the opportunity to refresh their understanding of emergency procedures at the plant and improve their personal health awareness. The training covers a range of topics including operating fire extinguishers and smoke chambers, first aid training and how to administer CPR. Health checks that test blood pressure, sugar content, cholesterol and body mass index are also available, enabling employees to become more aware of their health and any concerns that may need further investigation. Life-saving behaviour campaign Our rapeseed crush and biodiesel plant in Magdeburg, Germany, has produced a range of posters to remind colleagues to follow our life-saving behaviours. The business felt a more personal approach would encourage staff to take ownership of their own safety and that of their colleagues, as well as raising awareness of the SafeAgri programme. We asked colleagues what the effect would be on their loved ones if they were involved in a serious incident and asked members of their families how important it is for them that their parents, spouses and children come home safely each day. From these conversations we made posters featuring the employees involved in the discussions with safety reminders and messages. Even dogs made an appearance! Overall the posters were well received around the plant, reminding employees of important safety messages and providing a little light-hearted entertainment.
