CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY
Social responsibility underpins how we conduct
business at HG Metal. As a company, we understand
clients are not the only important stakeholders that
we need to look after. We are also accountable to our
shareholders, employees, the community at large that
we operate in.
WORKPLACE SAFETY
The well-being of our employees is one of our top
priorities. Our employees, who are our key assets,
deserve to work in a safe, secure and conducive
environment.
To instil a corporate culture of safety and ensure our
Health and Safety policy standards and procedures
are adhered to at all levels of operations, we conduct
safety trainings and send our people for external
courses to keep them up-to-date with new safety
developments pertaining to the steel industry. Our
staff must also complete the Safety Orientation Course
(Metal Working), and equipment can only be operated
by staff who have been properly trained.
We periodically service and perform maintenance
repairs on our facilities to ensure everything is
operationally safe and in proper working condition.
Together with close monitoring of our facilities, a safe
working environment is assured for everyone.
We have attained the bizSAFE Level 3 certification
awarded by the Workplace Safety & Health Council
and we endeavour to continually maintain and enhance
the safety conditions of our facilities.
PRODUCT QUALITY
The steel products in our extensive portfolio are
appropriately certified, some of which are approved
for use by the Building and Construction Authority.
As part of our strategy to enhance quality, we plan to
implement a programme that helps to tag and trace
our steel products. From time to time, our clients
require mill certifications for their respective industries
and applications in order to ensure they comply with
the respective regulations. This programme will enable
us to quickly and accurately provide them with the
necessary information.
OUR PEOPLE
Learning is a lifelong process and we value the
importance of staff training and skills upgrading. By
keeping our people up-to-date with the market, it
helps to maintain and improve their productivity. We
see the need to invest in our people and nurture talent
from within. We have in place a talent management
programme that helps to groomour leaders of tomorrow.
Besides training and development, we want our
people to feel comfortable at work as they do at home.
Hence, we strive to provide not only a conducive
work environment with communal areas to foster
team-building, but also encourage work-life balance
to improve our employees’ physical and mental well-
being.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
As a corporation, we recognise that we play an
important role in contributing to the society and we
believe we can make a difference. We aim to give back
to the society and over the years, we have contributed
monetary donations to many different charities which
help the needy, both young and old. At the same time,
we encourage our employees to volunteer their time
and effort to help the less fortunate.
