The BHP Billiton Employee HSEC Awards encourage and recognise those employees and their teams who openly embody the values expressed in our Charter and go beyond what is required in their day-to-day jobs to care for their fellow employees, the community and the environment.
Awards are presented in the four categories of Health, Safety, Environment and Community, together with an award for Individual Excellence, the recipient of which is personally selected by the Chair of the Judging Panel, The Rt Hon Sir Ninian Stephen (former Governor General of Australia). Each category of nominations is assessed by a separate judging panel for each category, comprising one representative from the Company and four experts from the non-government, government and academic sectors.
This year, more than 200 nominations were received from around the world. The judges selected a shortlist of finalists in each category. From these, the recipients of Excellence, Highly Commended and Merit awards were chosen. In recognition of their initiative, each Excellence award and Highly Commended award recipient will be presented with a specially designed sculpture, and each Merit award recipient will receive a certificate. The finalists each nominated a charity or not-for-profit organisation to share in their award. These organisations will receive a donation of US$7500 (Excellence Award), US$3750 (Highly Commended) or US$1500 (Merit). The judges this year also awarded an Honorable Mention for Fundraising, in recognition of an outstanding series of campaigns to raise funds for local community projects. The recipient’s nominated charity will receive a donation of US$1500.
All the recipients are to be congratulated for the high standard of their contributions.
We wish to thank the judges who participated in the assessment of entries and acknowledge their contribution to the awards process.
