Our steadfast commitment to eliminating injuries and fatalities on-site, supported by a comprehensive framework alongside our enduring ethos, to foster environmental and societal well-being, are essential for ensuring workforce health and safety. We prioritize hiring workers from the local area surrounding our assets and implement "living wages" for our project employees, thereby enhancing the quality of life for all those under our remit.
To comply with legislative requirements and reflect our core values, we adopt a multifaceted approach to safety. Our commitment is evident in Talisman Infrastructure Partners core values, code of conduct, research, implementation strategies, assessments and ongoing independent team reviews. This creates an environment where our workers feel physically secure and supported. The assurance provided by our standardized framework of checks, balances and verification systems is a significant reward in itself, as it ensures their health and well-being throughout every phase of a project. Moreover, a healthier workforce translates into increased productivity and reduced chances of error.
By leveraging the latest industry software and protocols, we aim to mitigate occupational hazards and risks. We develop detailed and efficient emergency response management programs while striving to reduce energy usage, waste generation and water consumption. Our efforts also focus on improving air quality, working conditions and social contributions for workers, partners, governments and communities we engage with. As modern technologies and procedures evolve, we continue to invest in and adapt our practices to further our primary safety mission. Regular evaluations of geographic locations, facilities, employees, processes and structural integrity by trained risk management officers -- guided by explicit assessment and reporting protocols -- foster a culture of safety awareness and effective controls.
In addition to ensuring the physical safety of our workers, we maintain transparent methods for reporting labor complaints and issues related to psychological well-being. We categorically refuse partnerships with any firm that knowingly employs underage workers or engages in modern slavery or discrimination based on age, sex, sexual orientation, race, disability, chronic illness, religion, political beliefs, caste, nationality, or any other divisive criteria. We celebrate diversity within our workforce. Talisman Infrastructure Partners acknowledges the climate change science presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and has led the way in sustainable practices for many years. In 2015, China ratified the IPCC's COP21 commitment to reducing carbon emissions and limiting global temperature rise this century to no more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. As the world’s largest carbon emitter, China’s commitment to COP21 is a positive step forward and underscores its recognition of the need for sustainable measures in industry. Talisman Infrastructure Partners is uniquely positioned to assist Chinese operators in enhancing their operations, facilities, systems, structures and processes to meet or exceed sustainability obligations and targets in order to achieve their stated goals and comply with European environmental standards ahead of their 2060 Net Zero carbon neutrality deadline.
