Overview Economy Community People Environment Governance & Risk Disclosure GRI & ADX 60GRI 102-9, 103-2, 103-3 With the support of a third-party consultancy we completed welfare audits on: Cascading worker welfare through our supply chain As well as monitoring our existing supply chain, we are highly selective in choosing new partners and suppliers. By embedding our requirements at the earliest stages of interaction, we future proof our supply chain’s compliance with our worker welfare requirements. At both Aldar Development and Aldar Investment, we have successfully embedded worker welfare into the prequalification and tendering stages of procurement. The most critical worker welfare requirements are assessed on a pass/fail metric at prequalification, while all remaining requirements are assessed and scored as part of our technical evaluation of bidders. Worker accommodation In line with the Emirate’s vision of maintaining sustainable communities for skilled workers, and our own Worker Welfare Principles, Aldar is committed to providing safe and healthy living conditions in our worker accommodation villages. We actively engage with contractors and carry out audits to monitor worker accommodation conditions. Upholding worker welfare Responding to the pandemic Our teams reacted quickly to the onset of the pandemic and determined that, to optimise use of available resources, our focus would be on creating and rolling out a COVID-19 awareness and preparedness assessment programme. Having held stakeholder discussions with our Operations, Legal and Management teams to identify our most high-risk projects and assets, we carried out 11 limited scope audits, focused on readiness to tackle the threats to worker welfare due to COVID-19. These audits were conducted against key Aldar Worker Welfare principles that overlapped with related Government advice on COVID-19. These included honouring wage and benefit agreements, ensuring that living conditions are safe, clean, and habitable, keeping working conditions safe and healthy, and ensuring safe and roadworthy transportation. Following the audit, any issues of concern identified were reported back to the prime contractors on projects and asset operators, ahead of a follow-up audit in which we assessed what remedial measures had been taken and to what effect. As a result of this thorough collaborative process, we achieved an improvement in overall compliance on nine follow-up audits. Focusing on worker welfare Khidmah is leading by example in terms of its genuine commitment to worker welfare. This is reflected in a number of initiatives, including the provision of excellent transportation, free living essentials and quality workforce uniforms. Workers also benefit from a health and safety training scheme, alongside other courses run through Khidmah’s dedicated training centre. To inform new initiatives and make sure they address relevant matters, Khidmah conducts regular surveys, inviting workers to report on their experiences. One outcome of this engagement was a recommendation to the Board to reward worker performance with bonuses and pay rises, which we have implemented. 33% of projects under development 100% of accommodation facilitiesowned by Aldar 4 key Aldar managed assets 9 prime contractors 35 subcontractors
