Subject of the Disclosure
RESPONSE TO THE SEC NOTICE ISSUED ON MARCH 12, 2020 REGARDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Background/Description of the Disclosure
Holcim Philippines, Inc.(HPI) does not anticipate an impact on our operations at the moment. All our plants and terminals are running normally, and our support teams are ready and equipped to work remotely to ensure business continuity. Nonetheless, HPI has triggered its business resiliency protocols to mitigate any potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Below are the actions our company has taken to safeguard the health and safety of our employees, customers and stakeholders and to ensure normal business operations:
• Work-from-home policy for our Head Office employees in Taguig City has been implemented effective March 15 until the government ends the quarantine period in Metro Manila. A skeletal team will remain to support essential business needs. • Face-to-face meetings between employees and between customers and employees are highly discouraged. Customers may conduct business discussion with our sales team via telephone call or video conferencing • Tighter health and safety regulations in accordance with government directives are being implemented at all the plants and terminals. All haulers picking up cement at the plants and terminals are required to comply with these regulations. • Head office employees living outside Metro Manila may report to the plants near their house. • All employee and community engagement activities have been cancelled until further notice. • Plants and terminals are closed for non-essential external stakeholder visits.
The health, safety and welfare of our employees, customers and stakeholders remain our highest priority. HPI is closely monitoring the Covid-19 developments in all locations where we operate under the guidance of national and local health authorities. We are ready to implement more serious actions aligned with guidelines from the Department of Health, National and Local Government Units and the LafargeHolcim Group to safeguard our people and to sustain our business.
