Environment, Health & Safety

GSK India has improved driver safety protocols, which encompass accident reporting and instilling life saving rules among employees through various channels to integrate them into daily operations.

Additionally, all new recruits are offered training in defensive driving techniques before commencing fieldwork.

Commercial EHS

GSK India has implemented various measures to prioritise the safety and well-being of its employees. It focused on enhancing EHS governance, conducting awareness sessions and trainings, ensuring workplace safety, and providing tools to improve road safety.

Training on pertinent safety topics through online platforms and offline behind-the-wheel Defensive Driving Techniques training are also conducted.

The Company introduced Mentor App, an application based intervention to enhance road safety for GSK’s field-based colleagues. Reflective jackets and LED blinkers were also provided to increase their visibility on the road, particularly during adverse weather conditions, thereby reducing the risk of collisions.

Employees also have access to a world-class support system and resources for both physical and mental well-being. Additionally, ergonomic sessions were also conducted to educate employees about proper posture while working and driving.

EHS at Nashik manufacturing site

GSK India’s Nashik manufacturing site has embraced a safety culture anchored by 12 Life Saving Rules. These rules help the site proactively identify unsafe conditions and behaviours to avoid incidents.

Risk management

For GSK, it extends beyond business success, investor confidence and regulatory compliance. It is a means to ensure uninterrupted delivery of critical healthcare solutions that play an important role in the sustenance of human life.

The risk management culture at GSK India is driven by the Internal Control Framework (ICF) approved by the Global GSK Leadership Team (GLT) and Global Risk Oversight and Compliance Council (GROCC).

Vigil mechanism

GSK India's 'Speak Up' programme has created a platform for voicing concerns and reporting any misconduct. GSK employees as well as other people can report concerns about potential unethical, unlawful or inappropriate behaviour without any fear of harassment or retaliation.

Internal control framework

GSK India's Internal Control Framework (ICF) is a comprehensive enterprise-wide risk management model and supports the continuous process of identification, evaluation and management of the company's risks.

ICF is supported by standard operating procedures, policies and guidelines, including suitable monitoring procedures and self-assessment exercises.
