HSSE inspections during each site visit have proven to be extremely helpful in preventing workplace injuries, as high risks are proactively identified and mitigated. In this quarter, leadership HSSE site inspections were also initiated at Summit. Our CEO, CRO, COO, and CSMO conducted detailed HSSE site inspections, wherein they reviewed the HSSE requirements, interacted with field personnel, and reemphasised our committment towards injury prevention and safe work.

RISK SUMMIT

Risk Summit 2022

Aligning with the four core values of Safety, Respect, Entrepreneurial Mindset and Excellence of Summit Digitel and to invigorate the spirit of team bonding which was pending as all the team members had joined remotely owing to COVID, we organized an off-site for all the Risk Summit functions, at Fariyas Resort, Lonavala between 27th April to 29th April 2022. The participation of employees was almost 100%, which exemplified the excitement and the commitment of the Risk team members. Our CRO, Sunil Panjwani, gave the opening remarks and kicked off the event with the context setting, that targeted team building and exploration of synergies between the Risk functions.

Summit Digitel recognized the significance of team building – to further this objective, and exploring synergies, we put together cross functional teams and engaged a professional trainer who conducted many engaging activities for these teams throughout the duration of the offsite. The SDIPL’s CSMO, Devesh Garg, provided insights on the Telecom industry and the future in the light of upcoming 5G roll out to the participants, which was followed by a robust Q&A session.

Day two involved, insights by the Functional Heads of Internal Audit Head / ERM, Legal /Compliance and HSSE, providing an overview of their areas of accountabilities to the cross functional team members. We also invited Antony Vaughan,(Chief Engineer for Brookfield) to address the group, who connected from Australia, to give the Risk function the background of the Summit’s acquisition and the focus that Brookfield places on Risk. The last session of the day was conducted by our MD & CEO, Dhananjay Joshi, who embraced the occasion with awareness talk about the commitment and future of Summit followed by the interactive session with the team. The interactive Q&A session was also joined by SDIPL’s COO, Sachin Naik. Each team was assigned certain tasks and challenges by the CRO, the problem statements were picked up from the real challenges faced by the Risk function and the teams presented their ideas and / solutions on it

Day three : This was an innovative way to manoeuvre the challenges by combining creative thinking and analytical analysis of the data to address real issues. The offsite achieved its stated goal of team building, cross- functional awareness of all Risk functions and identification of synergies. The Risk team members left with learnings, memories along with a packet of delicious, trademark chikki of Lonavala.
