SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2023 37 SOCIAL HUMAN CAPITAL TOP MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT AND EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT CLI champions OHS with commitment from the top management and employee participation through an integrated EHS Management System as well as stakeholder engagement activities. CLCT’s CEO is accountable for the OHS performance of CLCT. Employees are required to take personal responsibility for their OHS and are encouraged to be forthcoming in reporting OHS-related incidents, including non-compliances and non-conformities. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Tied to Remuneration CLCT integrates OHS KPIs with the remuneration of all CLCT employees, including its top management. ROBUST OHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Going above and beyond minimum regulatory requirements, CLCT’s approach to health and safety is guided by CLI’s OHSMS, which is accredited to the international ISO 45001 Standards. As a CLI-listed REIT, CLCT adheres to CLI’s EHS Policy, which outlines its commitment to manage OHS issues. This policy is communicated regularly to employees through meetings or other communication channels. Further details on CLI’s EHS Policy can be found on page 25 of this Report, or at https://www.capitaland.com/en/investment/sustainability/esg-policies.html. Certified to International Standards CLI’s OHS Management System has been externally audited to recognise international standards for OHS Management Systems since 2009 by third-party accredited certification bodies. CLI has obtained ISO 45001 OHSMS certification in 15 countries, including China, where CLCT operates. This encompasses all business functions including property management and operations, project development and corporate office management. Internal and External ISO Audits CLCT leverages CLI’s internal audit system to assure EHS conformance and effective implementation that is aligned to the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards. Internal audits are scheduled at least once a year in China for selected CLI sites. Additionally, external audits are scheduled annually with an accredited third-party certification body. These audits offer assurance to stakeholders regarding the EHS legal compliance and commitment to best practices. Compliance Legal requirements are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and adherence to these requirements are evaluated annually. Risk Management of OHS Hazards Key components in CLI’s OHSMS include identifying OHS hazards and assessing their risks. Through the implementation of Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), CLCT strives to provide a systematic approach for employees to: 1. identify hazards; 2. evaluate the risks; 3. determine the level of risks; and 4. prepare action plan to eliminate, contain or control the risks. The results from the risk assessment performed shall form the basis of the control measures that include house rules, guidelines, or OHS programmes. A cross-functional team comprising members from various work areas is formed to conduct Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA). Hazard Identification entails recognising the hazards connected to each job activity and determining the potential accidents or incidents that could occur. The primary objective during this phase is to identify hazards and engage in brainstorming to consider all possible types of accidents or health issues that may arise. Any work-related injuries or illnesses experienced by an employee while on the premises that lead to death, lost workdays, medical treatment, or first-aid treatment, along with all near-miss incidents, must be promptly reported and investigated. Employees can do so by alerting the casualty’s immediate supervisor within 24 hours.
