Dangote Cement Plc is committed to embedding sustainability
practices into the very fabric of its business strategy and
operations. We understand that one of the ways we could
accomplish this objective is to build the capacity of our employees
on sustainability, furnishing them with the requisite knowledge
and skills to drive its operationalisation across the board. A key
approach that we have adopted is to consistently review our
training plan as well as its contents to ensure that they align with
the needs and expectations of our workforce and sufficiently cover
new and emerging trends. Our sustainability training curriculum
in 2021 had modules/courses on GRI Sustainability Reporting
Standards; Understanding the NSE Sustainability Guideline
Principles and Reporting; Building a Sustainable Business
Culture the Fundamentals; Understanding Basic Sustainability
Implementation Requirements: Monitoring, Measuring and
Reporting ESG Impact, ISO 26000 (Social Responsibility) Lead
Implementer, etc. Our employees were trained on sustainability
principles, best practices and implementation steps and
requirements, as facilitated by both external and internal
facilitators. In total, five sustainability training modules were
executed in 2021, with 281 employees trained in about 1,188
hours. This is lower than the 7 modules and 1,441 training hours
achieved in 2020.
Our sustainability training targeted the following
categories of staff:
1 Sustainability Leads in Nigerian and Pan-African
operations.
2 Sustainability champions across diverse departments/
functions such as Environment, Health & Safety, Social
Performance/Community Relation, Human Resources,
Risk Management, Internal Audit, Legal and Finance.
3 Employee Volunteers across Dangote Cement operations.
