Providing a safe work environment where all our Family members are safe to be who and where they are is key to our ROTO Family. That is why building a safety culture that prevents accidents and condemns inappropriate behaviour in any form is our number one priority.
Safety First: Zero accidents
Our ambition is zero accidents because we strongly believe that every accident is preventable. The ROTO People Survey (2021) shows that more than 80% of our Family members feel the company cares about their health and safety, that their work environment is a safe place, and that they feel they can talk to colleagues safely. However, safety regulations are not always followed and not all near misses, however small, are reported. To reach our goal of a safe workplace with zero accidents, we continue to focus on improving these scores, and we aim for the remaining part of our Family members that still have a somewhat cautious attitude towards Safety First in the workplace.
Safety First: Zero tolerance of improper conduct
A claim of improper conduct, such as for bullying, aggressive behaviour or violence, discrimination and sexual or any other form of harassment, can have a negative effect on the well-being of our Family members. Improper conduct can have far-reaching consequences and may lead to physical stress and workplace stress resulting in illness. Complaints are taken seriously, handled carefully, and measures are taken if necessary. To prevent undesirable behaviour, we have drawn up a Code of Conduct and a complaints procedure.
In the ROTO People Survey (2021), our Family members told us that they do not experience any discrimination or harassment in their work environment. We are above the industry benchmark, dedicated to ensuring that all our Family members feel safe in their working environment.
