83 Sustainability Report 2024 Fostering An Inclusive Workplace Fostering Action on Climate Change Fostering Responsible Supply Chain GRI Content Index This initiative is a testament on how employee involvement can made a meaningful impact in GSEZ. Together, we are proud to contribute to the protection and preservation of our natural surroundings. Additionally, to strengthen individual capabilities within our workforce, we have provided access to the LinkedIn Learning platform for our employees . This platform serves as a comprehensive hub for a diverse range of educational courses, with each employee receiving a 12-month subscription. Since previous year’s report, we have continued our efforts to enhance our employees’ skills in mandatory fields and those of their choice. Train-The Trainer Conceptualized and planned in 2024, Arise partnered with Be Artsy to roll out a regionwide Train-the-Trainer (TtT) program on Whistleblowing and Prevention of Sexual Harassment. The initiative began with sessions in Benin and Gabon, expanding to Togo and the Republic of Congo in Q1 2025. Over 100 employees participated in this immersive two-day workshop, tailored to local workplace realities through French cotrainers and localized delivery methods. As we move forward, these trained facilitators will now serve as internal trainers, equipped to foster awareness, prevent misconduct, and uphold a safe, respectful, and inclusive culture across our operations. The Culture Connect Series was launched with a focus on four key mindset shifts: Customer Focus, Operating Performance, P&L Mindset, Integrity in Business Practices. This series brings our culture to life through storytelling, spotlighting positive behaviors (High-Five Habits), unacceptable actions (Low-Tide Lapses), and key reflections (Takeaway Tidings). We also re-introduced the Manager Drumbeat as part of our Culture Module, emphasizing four core leadership behaviors-Accountability, Respect, Oneness, and Recognition-to strengthen values-based leadership across the organization.
