Overview Economy Community People Environment Governance & Risk Disclosure GRI & ADX 59GRI 102-8, 103-2, 103-3 Upholding worker welfare Aldar is committed to all applicable International Labour Organisation standards and UAE regulatory requirements – and support our supply chain to do the same - whether in terms of working hours, payment for overtime, access to personal documents, including passports, safe accommodation and transportation, access to grievance mechanisms, or paid annual leave. Aldar’s industry-leading worker welfare programme underpins our approach to ensuring the health, safety, security and dignity of all those working for the company, whether directly or indirectly. Our Worker Welfare Policy is applicable to all workers in our supply chain who are wage earning, and therefore eligible for overtime, and/or those in employer-provided accommodation. Enabling a safe working environment We are taking steps to roll out a hotline across Aldar Development construction sites which will enable any employee to easily and confidentially report any concerns, including those relating to employment practices, transportation and accommodation, misconduct, irregularities and/or violations of Company policies, specifically Aldar’s Code of Business Conduct, or other feedback. Implementing our principles Aldar upholds 10 principles of Worker Welfare, which are based on ILO Fundamental Conventions and other recognised international frameworks, including the SDGs and the Dhaka Principles of the Institute of Human Rights and Business. They also reflect Aldar’s Code of Business Conduct and Occupational Safety and Health Management System. Prior to the onset of the global pandemic, we had embarked on steps to achieve our target of auditing all primary contractors against our Worker Welfare Principles by 2021. This included successfully completing audits of service providers within our Group, such as Khidmah and Provis, as well as a pilot assessment of a general contractor engaged on a large construction project on Yas Island. Issues of concern identified in the audits were relayed back to the service providers, along with notes on actions required to rectify the non-compliance.
