Our most important resource is our employees. It is our policy to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those concerning hours, compensation, opportunity, human rights and working conditions.
The Zagreb Stock Exchange was compliant with the following laws in 2020:
The Company is not obliged to follow the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act.
During 2020, there were no inspections carried out by any regulatory authority in the field of social rights, as well as violations of applicable laws, regulations or standards and no remedial actions or prescribed penalties were taken relating to such violations.
In addition to timely notifications of work from home due to unfavourable epidemiological conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Croatia, there were no material notices, reports and other communication on Environmental and Social Matters relating to the Company's business and operations submitted by the Company to any regulatory authority.
The Company recognises the importance of avoiding or mitigating adverse health and safety impacts and issues on workers.
The Company has adopted Occupational and Safety Regulation that sets out its approach to its size and workforce in accordance with national law.
On 5 March 2020, internal supervision over the application of the Occupational and Safety Regulation was carried out, performed on the basis of Art. 21. of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Official Gazette 71/14, 118/14, 94/18, 96/18) and Contract no. 23/2021. concluded between the Institute for Security Zagreb, Inc. and the Company, and examination of the working environment - periodic review according to Art. 45 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Official Gazette 71/14, 118/14, 94/18, 96/18) and according to Art. 6 of the Ordinance on testing the working environment (Official Gazette 16/16). The study of the working environment included procedures for testing microclimatic factors, noise and lighting in the workplace. The only identified shortcoming is related to air humidity parameters that do not meet the provisions of the Ordinance. In accordance with the instructions for eliminating the defect, the Company provided an appropriate humidifier in each room. Other shortcomings have not been identified.
At the end of 2020, the Company enabled its workers to have a full health examination done at the expense of the Company.
The Company provides its workers with relevant information, guidance and training related to health and safety hazard, risks, protective and preventive measures and emergency arrangements that are necessary for their safety.
In connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company provided all workers with technical conditions for work from home and the continuity of the Company's operations was not endangered.
In 2020, there were no major injuries at work, accidents causing any losses of work time or near misses, or remedial actions undertaken or planned by the Company. As there were no new employments and the existing employees were trained for safely work, no employee participated in a course of training for work in a safe manner. Seven (7) employees were sent to mandatory control of the vision.
