Calidus is committed to promote the physical and mental health of our people through initiatives and support systems, such as employee assistance programs and the provision of onsite facilities to support a healthy lifestyle and facilitate positive social interactions.
The Board and management team at Calidus build an environment and culture to support the health and wellbeing of all our employees and contractors through visible and effective leadership.
Safety
Safety and health of our people is the most important of our core values at Calidus.
Safety is embedded in everything we do at Calidus, and we expect our employees and contractors to always ensure their own safety and that of their colleagues. We acknowledge that a risk-based approach to managing hazards, incorporating regular reviews and audits of our principal risks and controls is essential to providing a safe and productive workplace for our employees and contractors.
We will ensure that all employees and contractors have the competency and skills required to work safely and are provided with appropriate tools and information to enable work to be conducted safely and productively.
Environment
Environmental stewardship is embedded in our operational thinking and Calidus is committed to continually improve its environmental and sustainability performance.
At Calidus we recognise the significant fauna and flora of the Pilbara region. We protect and support the natural environment in which we operate by creating effective systems, practices and documented plans to manage and mitigate environmental impacts of activities.
Community
At Calidus, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which we operate, and recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the First People of this land.
We recognise that our long-term success depends on our ability to build relationships with business partners, host communities and other stakeholders and maintain a social licence to operate. We engage regularly, openly and honestly with our host communities and stakeholders, and take their views and concerns into account in our decision-making.
We commit to maintaining community engagement, seeking to provide local employment opportunities and engaging local businesses, seeking opportunities to invest in local infrastructure and to support the sustainable development of our host communities and recognise the value they add to our operations.
