Corporate social responsibility highlights specific defined areas such as Environment, Energy, Waste, Product Sourcing, Ethical Trading. Currently there is no reference to Health and Safety or Risk Management. The Findel Plc 3 Year is very ambitious and relates to our desire to change and improve in the areas of health and safety management and the management of risk within the group. The success or failure to achieve the objectives set out in the plan depends significantly on the initial commitment and investment given to the plan by Findel Plc, primarily on the recruitment and appointment of the right calibre of people to ensure that the plan is implemented. I believe that ambitious plans encourage change. Our goals need to be stretching to the point that it become exciting to meet. They also need to be inspirational, easy to understand and remember both up and down the organisation levels. In order to ensure they are delivered they need to have an accountable person assigned to the objective and a deadline for completion. In order to ensure continual improvement we as an organisation have to do new things and we have to do things differently. Findel Plc will work on the 4 key values: Findel Plc Core Values Nothing we do is worth getting hurt for. Risk within our business can, and will, be effectively managed. Health and Safety is everyone s responsibility. Every workplace accident or ill health could, and should, have been prevented. Managing Group Risk Our vision is to have robust risk management systems and processes in place across all the Findel Plc operations that consistently and continually deliver improved performance.

2 Strategic Objectives The objective of the 3 year plan is to implement and maintain a process of continual improvement, in the management of risk, across all facilities within the Findel Plc organisation.

3 Definitions Vision The vision is the image of where Findel Plc want Risk Management to be in the preferred future. Ownership Ownership for the result of an objective will always be with an individual. How the owner chooses to deliver the results, whether by assigning responsibilities to others or doing it themselves is the owners decision. The success or failure of delivering results ultimately lies with the owner, irrespective of the performance of other individuals. Accountability / Responsibility People at all levels of the organisation being responsible for their actions and taking full accountability for their achieving an delivery their individual targets and objectives. Delivery Completing the objective / initiative against an agreed set of criteria. Review Reviewing all performance aspects of how we work and reflecting any improvements back into the Risk Management process. Risk Management Competencies Competencies are characteristics of our behaviour that shape how we approach and carry out our jobs. Competencies determine how work is performed our attitudes, understanding and willingness to do things. Highly developed and appropriate skills are essential to performing effectively, but the way we go about doing jobs is critical. Competencies provide each individual within the risk management structure with an opportunity for personal development and collectively to help us achieve our vision. The competencies described in our process will allow for specific development needs to be identified as part of individual personal development. The key is to identify which competencies have greatest positive impact on individual performance and to do this within the framework provided by the Risk Management Process.
