Health & Safety: At the Core of Every Site

We believe safe teams are productive teams. That\'s why Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is a core pillar of our operations. From first induction to final handover, we uphold a safety-first culture across every project.

Key Governance

Monthly HSE Committee

Regular strategic meetings for safety oversight

Workers Committee

Comprehensive guidelines for every stakeholder

Clear Safety Protocols

Biophilic design, low-VOC materials and superior air quality boost productivity by up to 12% and reduce sick days by 23%.

Beyond Compliance

Wellbeing goes beyond compliance. Our annual Health & Wellbeing Programme supports our team physically, mentally, and financially through regular campaigns and wellness activities.

Programme Highlights

  • Fire drill case study implementation
  • Real-time site oversight systems
  • Wellness-driven policy integration

Tracking Our Carbon Footprint

Understanding our climate impact starts with good data. Each year, we conduct a full greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment following the GHG Protocol—the global standard for measuring and managing emissions.

Our Measurement Approach

As our team and reporting boundaries grow, we track emissions per employee to better reflect operational efficiency. In 2025, these per-employee emissions decreased across all scopes, even with the inclusion of more Scope 3 categories.

2025 Highlights

  • Expanded Scope 3 categories
  • Employee commuting impact assessment
  • Economy-based travel assumptions
