Best practices in Bulgaria

We focus our attention on comprehensive personnel training, improvement of work conditions, occupational health and safety and the environment.

Safety is not simply defined in policies and procedures, it is considered and a daily focus every day, both at work and hopefully at home.

Employees are encouraged to think about safety in innovative ways – an example of this is our health and safety initiative ‘Because I Care’ where employees took part in a film, talk about the role of safety on site, and how important this is for their families too.

‘Because I Care’ - The initiative involved interviews and video filming taken both at work and in the personal time of our employees.

Inviting the workers to take a leading role in talking about safety was very impactful. The process, the film premiere and the awards distributed to the participants increased awareness of safety in a fun and creative way.

Because I Care program in Chelopech

In 2014, our Chelopech team launched a lifestyle program aimed at our employees, their families, and the community. The programme encourages everyone to adopt a healthy diet, physical activity and positive emotional health. We have begun offering healthier meal options in our canteen and physical programs during the day, such as biking and hiking.
