level, we offer our top talent a range of<br />

internal assignments that allow for crossfunctional<br />

and cross-cultural exposure and<br />

learning. The second level includes the<br />

Harvard ManageMentor ® programme and<br />

a stretch assignment programme. Finally, the<br />

third level includes our Executive Mentoring<br />

Programme that has been refined to optimise<br />

our matching process between business<br />

priorities and individual needs. The structure<br />

will be continuously refined to ensure growth<br />

opportunities develop with the requirement<br />

of both the business and our employees.<br />

CREATING VALUE IN<br />

OUR COMMUNITIES<br />

In line with our commitment to supporting<br />

local areas, we continue to seek<br />

opportunities where the Group can<br />

add value to our communities.<br />

<strong>Scapa</strong> participated in a scheme run by the<br />

Manchester Fab Lab to introduce cutting<br />

edge, 3D printing technology into a local<br />

school. The Fab Lab is part of a global<br />

network of open access manufacturing<br />

facilities founded by the Centre for Bits and<br />

Atoms at MIT and provides education and<br />

access to the latest digital manufacturing<br />

equipment for local communities. <strong>Scapa</strong><br />

sponsored the scheme which allowed pupils<br />

to build two new 3D printers, providing new<br />

learning about manufacturing technology<br />

and promoting teamwork and innovation.<br />

We also continue to support The Donkey<br />

Sanctuary in Abbey Hey Gorton, which<br />

provides therapy and activities for children<br />

and young people from the local community<br />

with additional needs and disabilities. The<br />

organisation works with over 100 volunteers<br />

dedicating time to local schools and caring<br />

for 21 donkeys. As part of our annual<br />

Christmas charity appeal, we donated<br />

over 150 presents for the children who<br />

are supported by the organisation from<br />

employees and through fundraising activities.<br />

Our partnership with the Hallé Orchestra and<br />

the Bridgewater Hall continued this year, and<br />

<strong>Scapa</strong> became a Major Sponsor for the<br />

season. The Hallé continues to provide<br />

valuable programmes to local, national<br />

and international communities.<br />

Our community investment framework<br />

is enhanced with activity across our<br />

global sites.<br />

> > In Canada, we continue to support the<br />

Renfrew Victoria Hospital foundation, which<br />

was launched last year. Throughout the<br />

year, employees at our site in Renfrew have<br />

made significant contributions through<br />

fundraising activity, in addition to Company<br />

donations. The fundraising programme was<br />

initially planned as a five-year commitment.<br />

We are currently on track to meet our<br />

commitment after three years<br />

> > In the United States the Group made a<br />

donation to the Boston Children’s Hospital,<br />

to support the department of neurosurgery<br />

and help them continue with their<br />

ground-breaking work<br />

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY<br />

<strong>Scapa</strong>’s overriding commitment in the<br />

workplace continues to be the health, safety<br />

and welfare of its employees and all those<br />

who visit the Company’s operations. This<br />

commitment extends to those who carry<br />

out work on our behalf.<br />

Identifying and complying with applicable<br />

legislation underpins all our health and<br />

safety activities and improvement initiatives.<br />

The Board provides environmental, health<br />

and safety leadership and the Chief<br />

Executive has primary responsibility for<br />

setting the principal objectives within which<br />

the detailed policies operate. The Chief<br />

Operating Officer, supported by the Group<br />

EH&S Director, ensures adequate resource is<br />

available to successfully deploy and measure<br />

operational health, safety and environmental<br />

improvement plans.<br />
