As part of its commitment towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Naim has always taken into
consideration the interests of community in which it operates and to assume the responsibility for the impact of its business activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment. Operating with an awareness of its corporate social responsibility, Naim’s determination to fulfill its CSR can be seen to extend far beyond statutory obligations and compliance with legislation.

Nevertheless, to ensure that CSR activities contribute to the overall competitiveness of the Group and do not have a detrimental effect on shareholder value, we are voluntarily placing all CSR activities (Health and Safety, Environmental Responsibility and Corporate Philanthropy) under the oversight of our Corporate Governance function. Please refer to the Corporate Governance chapter for further details.

Health & Safety

Naim is determined that its activities shall not have any detrimental health and safety impact on its employees, subcontractor employees, customers or any member of the community at large. Therefore it rigorously enforces a Health and Safety Policy (see statement below) under the oversight of Group Health and Safety Manager Mr. Bedingdang Nalong, who is a registered NIOSH HSE Manager. As a result, our rigorously enforced Healthy Workplace and Zero Accident Policies have once again yielded positive results, with no work-related illnesses or accidents being reported during 2007.

Environmental Responsibility

It has always been Naim’s goal to build a sustainable business and we recognize that the Company’s continued growth and ability to operate depend on how successfully we reconcile our financial objectives with environmental protection and community well-being. Our performance as a company will increasingly be evaluated on how we do in all the three areas. Through the full integration of environmental objectives into our business plans and ongoing capital investment in existing and new operation facilities, we are making steady progress towards sustainability.
