Social responsibility
Social responsibility for GULF means working to elevate
the quality of life for everyone we come into contact with. We strive to make a positive
impact on people both within and outside the organization and are committed to developing
and protecting the well-being of all our people – our GULF Family, GULF Community, and GULF
Society. Under our Sustainability Framework, we use the acronym HELPS to represent the
special emphasis we place on the following areas:
Human rights
We believe that human rights
are a fundamental part of society and works to ensure our activities and operations
promote such rights. For us, issues such as non-discrimination, gender equality, and
fair and equitable treatment apply not only to internal stakeholders, but to everyone.
Employees
People are the heart of our
company. GULF has made sure our operations comply with and go beyond national labor
laws, our employees are provided with a safe and happy workplace, and there are equal
opportunities for personal development and professional growth.
Local community
GULF makes it a priority to
improve the quality of life for people wherever we go. This means, especially,
developing strong relationships with the local communities where we operate to
understand their needs and finds ways to create shared value together.
Philanthropy
We recognize that we have the
potential to make a positive impact on a wider scale through initiatives that encompass
the general society. We undertake multiple philanthropic activities each year under the
theme of IMPACT focusing on Infrastructure, Medical services, Productivity, Activity,
Conservation, and Teaching and learning.
Strategic partnerships
GULF understands
that success cannot be achieved without support. Therefore, we seek to grow responsibly
and sustainably by forming strong strategic partnerships with business partners,
investors, associates, suppliers, advisors, researchers, and countless others.
