As our CSR programme develops we will seek to expand its reach to all manufacturing facilities across the Group.

Health and Safety

Our top priorities are to ensure that we provide a safe working environment and the necessary training for our people to achieve their potential.

In 2007 we developed our first Group-wide Health and Safety policy. This policy builds on the country-specific policies which were already in place. In 2008, a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) supervisor will be appointed to each of our main units and will be responsible for implementing these policies. In addition, all employees at these manufacturing sites will be trained on the corporate Health and Safety policy.

Health and Safety has been one of our data gathering priorities and the data gathering process is already helping us to develop focused procedures to help us achieve our target eliminating occupational injuries.

Initiatives launched in 2007:

• Jordan: Providing health insurance for all employees.
• US: Hired external specialists to conduct safety and
• technical training.
• US: Working on an initiative to reduce injuries.
• Saudi Arabia: Included CSR in training programmes.
