Annual Report 2010-2011 - Gammon India

VI. NON-FINANCIAL ORGANISATIONAL INITIATIVES:
EESOH (Employee Environment Safety and Occupational Health) is an organization wide initiative being undertaken
in Gammon to promote, inculcate and strengthen sustainable work processes, procedures and practices.
Recognizing the importance of involving and engaging employees across all functions and businesses in the
organization, Gammon India has structured relevant programs primarily lead by functions in the non-financial areas.
