We enable those who work for us, those we work with and those around us, to not only live better, but also realise their full potential and participate in holistic progress. We do good around us through technology and strive to make a difference. We draw inspiration from the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
Through our group-wide policies and frameworks, which convert our principles into practical behaviour in our day-to-day activities, we develop a shared culture that is based on these values.
One of our primary priorities has always been developing a culture that is founded on values and performance, as well as offering an engaging employment experience that allows our employees to flourish.
We are committed to equip people with the capabilities and know-how to achieve their fullest potential while enabling them to remain relevant in an evolving operating landscape. We are aware of how crucial talent development and acquisition are to our organisation and hence, we are dedicated to providing our employees with the aptitudes and expertise necessary to realise their maximum potential.
To connect with our employees, our leadership uses a range of platforms and venues, such as forums for discussions and town hall meetings as well as video conferencing and email circulars and newsletters. We perform an employee engagement survey at least once every year. The survey’s findings are analysed, and specific action plans are created to address problem areas. The regional human resource teams implement these plans to bring about change.

Occupational health and safety is one of our highest priorities. Recognising that excellence in health and safety requires ongoing improvement, we stay committed to putting best practices into effect by adhering to Sembcorp HSE requirements as well as local, regional, and global standards.
We are committed to ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of all our employees, subcontractors, and other associated personnel. We have established Health, Safety & Environment policies as one of our corporate values and have implemented high standards of safety measures to guarantee the health and safety of all our staff members, contractors, visitors, and consumers at our power plants and offices.
We ensure that any hazards or risks are identified, and precautions taken to reduce risks as low as reasonably achievable, investigate all near misses and first aid learning events, and implement corrective and preventive actions to strengthen our safety culture. We work hard to continuously improve our work methods. We have also won an award in 2021 for protecting our employees across our renewable operation sites from the risk of injury and ill health at work.

To further enhance our safety culture, we have implemented the Behaviour- Based Safety (BBS) program at our factories, which includes psychological safety and human performance concepts and intend to include these elements to further improve our safety standards.
For the purpose of setting up the HSSE targets for KPIs in 2022, we undertook a formal benchmarking exercise. A statistical forecast method based on the performance of the previous five years was also taken into consideration. We proposed to have the following HSSE performance targets for the next fiscal year:
After the recurrence of COVID-19 infections in 2021 we initiated informal meetings with Contractors, Associates, and Frontline Engineers to comprehend and address safety concerns and expectations. At both plants and the head office, the COVID Protocol was strengthened. With our proactive HSE activities and interventions, we are dedicated to maintaining the safety and wellbeing of our associates and employees.
We are committed to sustainable business while contributing positively to the local communities. We believe that managing the impacts of our operations and supporting the communities is vital to achieving long-term success. Subsequently, we ensure that every possible effort is made to minimise the impact of our operations on the community and environment. We collaborate closely with local communities to improve their quality of life as well as to ensure the highest levels of environmental management in our operational areas.

Our drive to empower and instil change throughout communities serves as the cornerstone of our ethics and sustainability standards. Together with our community partners, we develop innovative, longterm initiatives that have a lasting, positive impact.
We encourage people in our community to develop the habit of reading through our library project. The Community Library Project (TCLP) at Gurgaon, serves 1928 members from the underprivileged community. We have collected and supplied books to the library and host a variety of events including readaloud sessions and reading marathons. The library is utilised by a number of beneficiaries for exam preparation and academic research and project work. We believe, reading allows people to gather diverse perspectives and develop unconventional ideas that empower them to become future leaders.

India is frequently regarded as a nation of paradoxes and conundrums, and nowhere is this more evident than in the country’s workforce and job market. There is a need to alleviate this issue and fully harness our country’s human capital.
To address these key societal issues, Sembcorp has established an Employment Enhancing Vocational Skills programme to enable employability of underprivileged youth, encourage entrepreneurship and community enterprise. It aims to deploy vocational education that offers market-relevant skills as well as essential soft skills.
The programme seeks to offer the youth adequate training in marketrelevant skills along with essential soft skills. It is designed to generate opportunities for within the country and to broaden the scope and space of underdeveloped sectors. It has helped trainees to acquire market-relevant training as well as essential soft skills that increased their employability in the labour market. The programme, conducted in 21 batches in FY2022, across six districts, has improved the socioeconomic circumstances of 505 underprivileged youths.

Sustainable agriculture provides a much-needed alternative to conventional input-intensive agriculture. In a climate-constrained world, it is essential to ensure nutrition security. To address this concern, we have undertaken the Krishi Mitra initiative, which aims to provide access to various sustainable agriculture and livelihood enhancement services for farming communities near our operations.
This programme aims to protect farmers from erratic weather events by promoting climate smart agriculture, which is based on the dissemination of a relevant package of practices, soil health testing, vermicomposting, improving human and animal health, watershed management, a bio-gas plant, promoting women empowerment through Self Help Groups (SHGs), and strengthening grassroot connections with institutions and bodies. This initiative is in line with the Prime Minister’s Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY), which promotes holistic rural development.
The programme has resulted in significant economic surplus for the farming community, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable rural livelihoods and improvement of living standards in the villages (Rulki, Kapaliya and Ashawati) of Rojwas and Nipaniya.

In continuation of our community initiatives, Sembcorp rolled out a campaign to create awareness on COVID appropriate behaviour and encouraged people to sign up for the vaccination campaign. The motive of the campaign Let’s #DoOurPart was to encourage people to do their bit during these tough times and help generate awareness across platforms and regions.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of the healthcare sector. With healthcare taking centre stage, Sembcorp has undertaken its Arogya, Mobile Medical Care Unit (MMCU) programme to provide access to various preventative healthcare treatments within communities as part of its commitment to the sustainable development goals and in alignment to the National Rural Health Mission.
We intend to develop a communitybased service delivery model to fill gaps in the healthcare infrastructure and reach socially and economically underserved rural populations.
We render primary healthcare services to communities of 50 villages in the four states (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan) that have been cut off from mainstream healthcare. By promoting the importance of physical fitness and healthcare, we hope to improve the quality of life of local residents. It will also eventually improve the financial circumstances of people residing in the community.

In FY22, we continued with our initiative to cure blindness in the National Capital Region and its neighbouring states. To support socially and economically disadvantaged people with proper medical care, especially the elderly with low awareness levels, we supported cataract treatments and surgeries through ICARE.
Through this programme, elderly and underprivileged patients who require treatment are identified during outdoor eye screening camps and are shifted to the base hospital. They are offered food, shelter, medicine and other facilities for treatment including surgery at no cost. The treatment is at par with the most advanced cataract surgery offered in a modern eye care hospital. Sembcorp has so far contributed towards the National Rural Health Mission by screening 62066 beneficiaries and cured cataract of 2126 patients.
