Geo Energy 35 degradation resulting from our mining activities. Lastly, we prioritise maintaining positive relationships with our stakeholders by consistently promoting and implementing robust health and safety protocols. With our safety objectives in mind, we adopt a unified approach consistently applied throughout the Group, ensuring that all employees understand the importance of cultivating a safe working environment that minimises negative impacts on the environment. We adhere closely to national health and safety regulations and strictly implement the policies outlined below for all our mining operations. • Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (OHSE) Policy; • Environmental, Health and Safety, and Social Management System (EHS&SMS); and • Contractor Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Evaluation Policy (2018). Our health and safety management programmes are designed based on local laws and regulations where applicable. We also adhere to international best practice frameworks such as Occupational Health and Safety Assessment (OHSAS) 18000 and various international and financial standards that are relevant to the Group. In 2022, we migrated to the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 45001 because it enables the Group to adopt a proactive approach to evaluate and remedy potential risks to prevent any accidents and injuries. At our operational mine sites, the safety teams from Geo Energy and BUMA are required to follow a rigorous health and safety process. They conduct daily safety patrols to ensure compliance with regulations, including adherence to speed limits and proper display of safety and hazard signs. The Health, Safety, and Environment committee (Kesehatan, Keselamatan, Kerja dan Lingkungan Hidup (K3LH)) holds monthly meetings led by the Technical Mine Chief (Kepala Tambang Teknik). These meetings focus on discussing Geo Energy’s performance and any concerns raised related to health, safety, and environment. The committee is responsible for providing occupational health information, conducting safety training for workers, and addressing health and safety performance concerns. We prioritise the safety education of our employees and provide comprehensive training to our entire workforce to foster a strict safety culture within our mining areas. During these trainings, management plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are clearly communicated. All new employees are required to undergo mandatory safety induction training, SOPs training, and trainings to raise awareness of safety and environmental regulations. To ensure that workers are equipped with the knowledge of potential hazards they may encounter, we conduct a Training Needs Analysis based on their respective roles. This analysis helps identify the specific trainings they need to attend. Additionally, we extend our focus on safety beyond our mining sites and encourage our office employees to observe safety practices, minimising the risk of accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses. Our initiatives and performance Employee health and safety Ensuring regular reviews and continued regulatory compliance We continue to implement the policies as stated in our EHS&SMS framework, which was developed based on relevant national regulations such as Indonesian Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management, international financial standards like the IFC PS, and international standards for management systems such as OHSAS 18001:2007.
