To reduce total Lost time Injuries for Bud APAC’s employees and contractors % reduction of total Lost Time Injuries (LTI) for our employees and contractors 0% 80% 95% > 60%
(Definition of LTI: cases involving days away from work and/or days of restricted work activity beyond the date of injury or onset of illness) (Total LTI = 20) (Total LTI = 4) (Total LTI=1)

We are committed to reducing our total Lost Time Injuries by more than 60% for supply employees1 and all contractors by 2025. In 2023, this target has been exceeded and a 95% reduction of LTI has been realized compared to the baseline year of 2017.
  • Our Risks and Opportunities
    Given the nature of our work, our employees face various risks including falls, transportation accidents, equipment mishaps, and heat-related illnesses or injuries. It is of utmost importance to us, as a company, to prioritize the safety of our production and logistics personnel, contractors, and the surrounding community. We have ingrained a strong dedication to occupational health and safety within our company culture. Our objective is to minimize risks and promptly address any workplace hazards that may arise. 
  • Our Policy
    Please refer to our Occupational Health and Safety Policy for more information on our approach to ensuring a healthy and safe work environment. 
  • Our Vision and Ambition
    We have a strong conviction in our vision of achieving “zero injury” because we firmly believe that all injuries can be prevented. To make this vision a reality, we set ambitious health and safety targets that we strive to improve upon each year. We have developed a robust strategy to accomplish these goals, aiming to become a safety benchmark within our industry. Safety is integrated into every facet of our operations, and we focus on cultivating safety leaders at all levels of our organization, including our contractors. 
1 Supply employees are involved in brewery operations and first tier logistics, representing approximately 1/3 of our total employees.

Our Approach

Safety considerations are deeply integrated into every aspect of our operations, and we hold our contractors to the same high standards. Our safety approach is driven from the top down, with designated roles at both the zone and brewery levels to ensure a secure workplace for everyone involved. The success of our safety management system relies on the active involvement of all levels. From top executives to operators, each level has clearly defined safety responsibilities. Our top management has issued a comprehensive safety policy, demonstrating our commitment to the well-being of our employees and the community. To effectively implement and comply with this policy, we have zone and brewery safety committees in place. These committees ensure the proper use of Voyager Plant Optimization (VPO) tools. Our frontline team members play a crucial role by taking ownership of safety in their respective areas. They actively participate in various safety-related activities, such as identifying hazards, investigating incidents, conducting risk assessments, and providing peer-to-peer coaching on safety behaviors.

Roles Responsibilities
APAC Level Health and Safety Committee • Supervise both internal and external health and safety strategies and initiatives
• Execute measures to attain health and safety targets
• Stay updated on any changes in legal requirements pertaining to health and safety
• Review industry best practices and devise plans for continuous improvement
Brewery Level Health and Safety Committee • Provide guidance to brewery staff to promote a safety culture
• Review on-site safety incidents and potential hazards
• Help identify and eliminate unsafe actions or conditions
• Ensure compliance with local safety regulations



We adhere to the health and safety pillar of the Voyager Plant Optimization (VPO) system as part of our routine management. This comprehensive system not only meets but surpasses the requirements outlined in OHSAS 18001/ISO 45001. To ensure its effectiveness, the VPO system undergoes internal audits twice a year. As of 2023, all of our breweries are covered by the VPO system, with 74% of them certified by third-party or local work safety standardization. Additionally, 6 of our breweries have obtained certification for the ISO 45001 standard. We also have operational procedures and safety standards in place for our production processes and contractors.


The total Lost Time Injuries recorded for all employees (Supply and Second-tier logistics/Sales Employees****) in Bud APAC is 71 and our LTI rate for all employees is 0.1 in 2023.


* Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) – Occupational injury

resulting in more than one-day absence from work.
** Total Recordable injuries – LTIs + modified duty injuries + medical treatment injuries.
***Supply Employees – Brewery and manufacturing facility employees, including first-tier logistics.
****Second-tier logistics/Sales Employees – Second-tier logistics, sales, Zone and global corporate employees.



Our Initiatives

  • Occupational safety Control

    CCTV AI Detection

    We are continuously exploring how to utilize AI technology to capture and identify unsafe behaviors, providing early warnings and preventing accidents even before they occur. We have selected Suqian Brewery as a pilot project. The High-altitude Intelligent AI Recognition project at Suqian Brewery utilizes on-site AI recognition cameras to collect data. Through local video analysis servers and AI video analysis technology, the system automatically monitors and analyzes non-compliance behaviors such as failure to wear safety belts or failure to hook properly. When violations are detected, alarm signals are sent to on-site audio-visual devices for reminders, and the alarm records are uploaded to cloud servers. 
    Impact
    Management personnel can access real-time analysis results through the system interface, enabling prompt problem identification, enhanced safety, and improved management efficiency. 

    Proactive Safety Management

    Employees are encouraged to conduct self-assessments to proactively identify potential risks in their respective areas. We optimize processes and consider eliminating operations that could lead to hazards. In cases where operations cannot be eliminated, we explore process optimization, changes in work methods, or reduction in frequency to minimize associated risks.
    We also adopt a proactive approach by learning from near-miss incidents, which are events that could have resulted in an accident. We engage all relevant personnel, including operators, engineers, and safety managers, in conducting in-depth analyses to identify the root causes. Based on the priority of control measures, we develop action plans that prioritize the elimination of hazards at their source.
    The safety management of the sales team includes regular safety trainings covering road safety and hazard prevention such as accidents, theft and extreme weathers. 
    Impact
    To ensure a proactive approach to safety, we have organized over 100 joint meetings to deeply investigate incidents, leading to the generation of more than forty safety alerts. These alerts serve to share valuable insights and lessons learned, with the goal of preventing similar incidents from occurring again. 
  • Building Safety Culture

    2023 World Safety Day

    Every year, we celebrate World Safety Day and organize various activities to improve the safety awareness and knowledge of our employees and contractors. We held the World Safety Week in the week of 24 April 2023 and organized activities around 8 main safety topics. We promoted safety awareness in road safety, fire safety, first aid skills, self-rescue and food safety, etc. 
    Impact
    The event had involved 32,130 participants, 11,131 contractors and executed 784 initiatives (+9.5% compared to 2022).
