5 VISION & STRATEGY SITA - dependable and sustainable waste management VISION SITA is thoroughly conscious of its role in society. A sustainable approach to waste, starting with prevention, followed by responsible re-use and careful (final) treatment, are central to this. Respect for and integrity with man and environment are core values. STRATEGY SITA takes care of the entire chain of waste collection and processing. SITA fulfils the role of fulltime service provider in the waste trade. Environmental awareness is a trump card in this : for SITA supplies the raw materials in order to close the recycling circle. 5

10 2. CONTEXT

11 2. Context (1/2) Ageing population and falling birth figures tendency to a tight and tense labour market Average age of (SITA) staff is increasing and with that the number of elderly people (reduction of the physical and mental capacities by an average of 1% per year) Pre-pension schemes are past Pension age rises staff must continue to work for longer Risk of sickness absence increases as the workforce grows older Overweight (obesity) figures rising, also with young people living increasingly unhealthier lives 11

12 2. Context (2/2) Sustainability is a priority of SITA: A healthy and sustainable primary process A healthy physical (working) environment A healthy social (working) environment Healthy and long-term available staff A diverse staff contributes to sustainable organizational performance A healthy and sustainable relation with the immediate living environment Sustainable products and services 12

13 3. BUSINESS CASE

14 3. Business Case (1/2) Elements with health impact for a driver at SITA: Monotonous charge of body/muscles Irregular/long shifts Long employment contracts High average age Little body exercise Overweight/obesity Diabetes type 2, high cholesterol, cardiovascular problems TIA, heart problems, coronary, stroke and hip and knee arthrosis **BMI >= 27 = twice the risk of dying (BMI = 27 = 1m80 and 88 kg) **20% of the cost of absenteeism can be attributed to obesity 14

15 3. Business Case (2/2) To conclude: Insufficient body exercise and overweight increases the risk of heart and vascular diseases and with that the risk of sickness absence. Suppose a driver/loader is 5 working days per year more absent: Average absence costs: - wage of absent employee: 40 hrs x 16.98= Replacement by temp. worker: x 2= (per hour) x 40 = Furthermore: - If a driver suffers a TIA, he will be temporarily disqualified from driving a truck. - Subsequently, in that period he can only work as a loader, which is physically more demanding. 15

16 4. PROGRAM APPELTJE EITJE

17 4. Program Appeltje Eitje (1/4) What are the goals? Short term Making staff (more) aware of their own vitality Improving the health of the workforce Increasing the sense of belonging Long term Reducing the operating costs by reducing sickness absence and incapacity for work Increasing productivity by increasing the long-term availability of staff Departure point in all this is that the emphasis is not put on the individual absent employee, but on all employees and the manner in which they treat their health 17

23 5. Implementation & results (2/2) Perceptions/experiences of staff Exercising together stimulates each other Stopping smoking together, with your colleagues keeping an eye on you The collective element makes it fun I would never have done this on my own accord I get to talk to other colleagues In the canteen, I now also talk to colleagues of other departments Successes High blood pressure has been significantly reduced, we are now below the national norm Cholesterol level has been reduced Even reduced weight after giving up smoking Fitness levels have improved Demonstrable improvement of mutual interaction among staff Proud of SITA, staff are positive about SITA offering this Lots of publications in external media (trade journal Afval!, TON magazine, Health in bedrijf, etc.) 23
