Safety, Health, and Well-being Policy

At Grupo Enhol, we have spent more than 90 years demonstrating, through every new project and every new venture, that we can transform industries, creating a profound, meaningful, and real impact: the mark of our impact. Our commitment has led us to reinvent diverse sectors such as agriculture, healthy eating, renewable energy, and real estate.

Our approach is guided by principles and values that shape our mission: to see the community’s needs as opportunities for our work to improve lives; and a way of doing things: absolute care for people, relationships with our partners, reliability, and responsibility in our daily work.

Purpose

The purpose of this Policy is to ensure that all necessary measures are taken in all Grupo Enhol activities to prevent any risks that may arise from the planning through the execution of these activities, as well as to promote a proactive approach to employee health. Grupo Enhol’s management believes that occupational risk prevention must begin with the company’s own workforce:

Scope of application

This Policy applies to all companies within the Enhol Group. Every member of staff is responsible for upholding the principles and commitments set out in this policy in the course of their work.

Basic principles governing occupational health and safety

In order to achieve its objectives in the field of Occupational Health and Safety, the Enhol Group adopts and promotes the following basic principles of action:

To comply with the legal requirements and regulations in force in each country and to take additional measures.
To identify hazards and assess risks, establishing and prioritising control measures, with the aim of preventing workplace incidents and occupational illnesses.
To instil the understanding that the health and safety of the Group’s workers is as important as quality, productivity and excellence in its activities.
To lead the culture of health and safety at work.
All managerial staff with employees under their supervision must ensure safe and healthy working conditions for their workers.
To promote well-being and a healthy lifestyle, monitoring workers’ health through protocols related to the activity and the risks associated with it.

To ensure that employees receive training in occupational health and safety so that they can carry out their work correctly and to raise their awareness of health and safety issues.

The proper allocation of technical, financial and human resources.
Occupational Health and Safety Policy
Regular updating of occupational health and safety management systems.
To promote consultation and enable employees to participate in all matters relating to occupational health and safety.
Workplace accidents or any injuries sustained at work are fundamentally management failures and are therefore preventable through proper management that allows for the adoption of measures to identify, assess and control potential risks.
To prevent harm, the company will adopt a comprehensive prevention model that addresses all risks, including the most subtle or slow-acting ones, promoting all actions that may contribute to improving the quality of working life, the quality of the production process and the quality of the finished product.
Risk prevention will be integrated into the company’s overall policies, so that directors, technical staff, managers and workers all fulfil their respective responsibilities in this area, on the understanding that work must be carried out safely in order to be done properly.
We analyse all accidents with the potential to cause harm and take immediate action to rectify the situation.

Background and assessment criteria

In order to set objectives and targets, the following aspects will be assessed:

Annual occupational health report and records of workplace accidents and occupational illnesses.
Customer complaints and suggestions.
Investigations into workplace accidents and occupational illnesses.
Labour inspections.
Continuous improvement procedures.
‘Health promotion’ indices or similar

Strategic objectives

The strategic objectives established to date and currently in force are set out below. To establish an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) and implement the procedures laid down by law, integrating occupational health and safety into the company’s management systems.

To actively combat workplace accidents.
To foster a genuine culture of occupational risk prevention, ensuring effective and genuine compliance with preventive obligations and prohibiting merely formal or documentary compliance with such obligations.
To ensure that the company’s employees understand that a job well done in all our activities is fundamental to our future and will only be considered as such when carried out under the appropriate safety conditions.
To ensure that the companies providing services to us have an effective Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SGPRL) and to collaborate, where possible, in improving it.
To be proactive in seeking measures that improve the health (physical and psychological) of workers, recognising these actions as a means of reducing absenteeism, fostering a greater sense of belonging and talent retention, and enhancing team cohesion.

Through this Policy, we contribute to the achievement of the following SDGs:
