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 />
