With regard to the prevention of occupational health risks, the One MAESTRO framework provides that subsidiaries of the Company identify and assess risks at the workplace in the short, medium and long term. To do this, the framework provides application guides for implementation. The analysis of these health risks relates to chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic and mental risks. This results in the roll-out of an action plan. An Industrial Health correspondent in subsidiaries is identified and tasked with implementing the policy for identifying and assessing work-related health risks. The actions are integrated into the entities’ HSE action plans and can be audited as part of the One MAESTRO audits.
As part of its health policy, the Company has implemented a Mental Health risks (MHR) prevention policy aimed at protecting the mental health of employees and has introduced a global program to enable all exposed employees to receive support, wherever they are in the world. The incorporation of mental health by the Company is part of a broader framework linked to well-being and quality of life at work, which includes social protection, working methods and environment, taking family life into account, and listening and caring at all levels of management.
