Taking a collective approach to health, safety and wellbeing
Our work impacts the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, so protecting them is a duty. We take a holistic approach, addressing the physical and mental health, wellbeing and safety of all our employees, whether they are working on manufacturing sites, in office environments, at our brand homes or out visiting clients or attending events.
Our major communication campaign, “Be the One”, encourages our people to take care of their colleagues, take concrete action, and actively contribute to a safer environment. This campaign has become a real movement - helping our employees to identify hazards, change their habits and foster a sense of care.
Since January 2025, we have reframed the campaign as “Be the oneS”, shifting the focus from individual responsibility towards collective action, because we make the greatest impact when we work together. One of our key behavioural messages: “Stop, Think, Act”, encourages everyone to pause before taking action.
This year, we’ve also accelerated Health & Safety awareness among non-industrial employees to truly make a difference, notably with a mandatory e-learning for all employees (CARE Agency) and cross-affiliate SWAT teams to deploy key tools and initiatives (Safe Events, Driving Policies, and Brand Homes).
Our commitment to Health & Safety continues to gain recognition. Several affiliates have received honours at the ROSPA Awards (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), which reward strong teamwork and proactive risk management. This year also marks a new milestone: we have been awarded Platinum at the Safety On The Edge Forums Recognition Awards. A distinction that recognises innovative solutions and best practices that significantly reduce workplace risk and enhance overall safety culture through exemplary leadership. For the first time, this award acknowledges our health and safety journey at Group level, celebrating the collective progress we are making across all affiliates.
Our “Be the One” campaign encourages looking out for each other every day. We’re proud to see this campaign recognised by our industry for successfully helping to spread the culture, shift mindset, and engage all employees at all levels of the organisation. Every small step makes a big difference.”
