Singapore Annual Food Festivals and more Mission: Addmoresphere Continued from page 7 In Offshore, our business is to take care of the crew and especially on the oil rigs where long extended remote time is a normal day-to-day life. Our mission is to have that feeling of being at home considering they are onboard at sea. For instance when their going inside the vessel after a long hard day of work, outside with the elements. When the crew comes inside to clean up and saw their room kept sparkling clean, then taking a break at the mess hall while relaxing and having a very wonderful home style meal that has been prepared with smile. Rest assured that after a long days work they will receive the best treatment while onboard with our team. Our services go beyond normal, with the introduction of Addmoresphere, this concept has taken away that bland sterile wall in different areas and lifted it up and made the section much more appealing and interesting to the crew. The cinema area for example, previously was a room filled with chairs. Now it has the feeling of a real cinema just like at home, it only needs some popcorn and drinks to really set the mood. At the dining area or mess hall previously you are greeted with white sterile wall, now just going inside the dining area has a feeling that you’re at home looking outside the window and see the trees, rivers and sceneries that gives you comfort. The next mural being conceptualised is about ‘The History of Drilling’ it will be a new featured mural that will no doubt appeal to all the workers in the offshore industry. This mural starts off in black and white with a driller sitting on top of a wooden box next to the drill pipe. It will be followed by another photo taken of a 6th generation drilling console where the driller is sitting in a cyber chair with touch screen and joystick controls. Continuation, page 13

Singapore receives bizSAFE Star and OHSAS 18001 Continued from page 4 Sodexo Singapore believes that safety systems will positively improve the efficiency of internal operations and consequently reduce accidents, danger and downtime. Employee safety and the quality of the working environment are actively improved because objectives and responsibilities are made clearer and all employees are prepared to effectively deal with any future hazards. All these safety standards ensure compliance with current legal requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or possible litigation. Sodexo Singapore is committed to worker safety by making sure that every staff is working in safe conditions. “A safe and healthy business is also a productive and profitable business”, other companies in different industry background also believe that investing in safety systems makes good business sense. It increases productivity, enhances corporate image and gives a positive statement about the values of the company. As a committed employer our company leaders are responsible for setting the direction on how safe practices should be implemented, practiced, documented and improved on a continuing basis.
BCM Certified Continued from page 3 We worked with our consultants over a period of 6 months wherein all the recovery processes were documented and back-ups created as required by the standards. Training of key personnel was conducted and test simulations were done to determine the workability of our recovery plans to be properly carried out. Our recovery processes include back-up infrastructure was audited by two (2) senior auditors and we were awarded the BCM certification after stringent checks and confirmation of all requirements. Value to Sodexo Business Continuity Management (BCM) gives us a lead in the market by ensuring that we are prepared for any situation in time of crisis, the impact on Sodexo Singapore and our clients will be restricted to a minimal. This capability makes us a Valued Partner to do business and will help promote organic growth for the company.
I would like to congratulate the entire team for their efforts and support in making this achievement possible. Well done!
By making sure that every worker returns to his home and family safely and unharmed.
Best Regards,
Everyone is a part of the responsibility to ensure workplace safety and health,
Bertrand Rousseau Managing Director Sodexo Singapore Pte. Ltd.
“Safety is everyone’s business”.

Connexions : Sodexo Singapore eNewsletter * July – August 2012 Mission: Addmoresphere Continued from page 8 This mural goes along with a photo of ‘Mister Charley’, the first ever semi submersible drilling rig which is a training rig and museum at Morgan City, Louisiana. Then next to the photo of Mister Charley is the Atwood Condor the latest 6th Generation Deep Water Semi Submersible rig. I have noticed on many occasions I often see the crew here stopped and stare at these great murals that Sodexo has placed in certain parts of the accommodation. I can feel it has definitely had a great impact towards morale as well because the crew realise that Atwood Oceanics are focused towards their well being and are trying to make the rig have an appeal that it is their home away from home. Definitely a great move.
