COMMITMENT
Implementing
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
& SAFETY
In 2014 there was a focus on finalising the
review of SFG’s Occupational Health & Safety
Management System (OHSMS) and preparing
for the launch of a new strategy to address the
key risks identified through the reviews.
Some of the most notable achievements include:
• Utilising external providers to audit the
OHSMS implementation at store level;
• Full review of incidents and investigation
of causes to assist with development of
new strategies;
• Second year of participation in WorkCover
NSW’s Retro Paid Loss Premium Scheme
and another application for FY16 submitted
and since approved in principal;
• Biometric Assessments completed across SFG
retail stores to better and more objectively
understand our manual handling risks;
• Development of new training and simplified
procedures to better engage Team Members; and
• Continued integration of the SFG OHSMS
and training into the Rivers brand.
SFG’s new strategy for FY16 launches in July
2015. This program has been developed following
the reviews completed and with retail stores at
the forefront. The strategy is to be rolled out
through a new and ambitious initiative called the
OneEightyProject. The initiative brings together new
training, improved communications, competition
and a health & wellbeing program all aimed
at driving genuine change within SFG.

diversity
SFG values and recognises the diversity of our
Team Members and the added value diversity
provides to achieving the overall Company
objectives. The Diversity Work Group (DWG),
established in 2012, is responsible for setting the
strategic direction and identifying focus areas in
relation to diversity. It consists of a cross section of
SFG Team Members to ensure that all levels of the
Company have a voice.
Workplace diversity recognises
and values the contribution
of people from different
backgrounds, experiences and
perspectives. At SFG we aim to
ensure that all Team Members
have equal opportunity to
participate and advance in
their careers.
Diversity Policy
SFG’s Diversity Policy outlines the Company’s
diversity objectives in relation to gender, age,
ethnicity, cultural background, disability, religion,
gender identity, sexual orientation and professional
background. It includes requirements for the Board
to establish measurable objectives for achieving
diversity, and for the Board to assess annually both
the objectives, and the Company’s progress in
achieving them.
