At MAS we don’t practice collective bargaining however we do practice a different mechanism where each and every business unit has a Joint Consultative Committee(JCC)/Employee Representative Body (ERB) function with is workers organisation where members of this representative body are elected by their fellow employees which they will then represent for that calendar year. This workers organisation is responsible for representing the shop floor employees and bringing to the discretion of the management any concerns or grievances they have which is then discussed and solutions provided. The JCC/ERB Meetings are held on a monthly basis with discussion points and action items tracked in order to provide a transparent problem solving mechanism for employees to use. In terms of Occupational Safety and Health, policies followed by each of our divisional clusters vary due to the differing Customer Compliance requirements faced. Units are then audited on the use of these policies internally by our Divisional teams as well as the Customer Compliance Audits carried out on a periodic basis. However at a minimum each unit follows the Health & Safety policies mandated at Government Level. Wages and Working Hours are followed as stipulated by the Country Law. However in certain areas such as minimum wage we operate in a higher bracket comparatively to what is offered as per the minimum stipulated by the law.

After introducing the MAS Plan for Change in 2020, the reporting period (Jan – Dec 2021) was spent actioning the commitments that we had made under the pillar of ‘Our Planet Changed for Good’ to reduce our environmental impact, under the areas of limiting emissions, transforming waste, responsible chemical use, safeguarding water, and championing biodiversity. In 2021, our commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative were validated, and in keeping with these efforts, we continued our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint to achieve an absolute reduction of 25.2% by 2025 (on a 2019 base year), expanding our rooftop solar efforts and exploring options in sustainable biomass. We also increased the percentage of value enhanced waste to 43% across the group, reached 98% compliance of Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Level 1 status, and exceeded 2,500 acres of habitat restoration through our efforts to champion biodiversity. During a pandemic year, teams across the business were severely challenged in meeting relevant impact reduction targets, and were compelled to rethink strategies and transition to virtual platforms for work, monitoring, and engagement to stay on course, without making any compromises on employee safety.
