Occupational Health and safety
For Drummond Ltd., Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a priority, because it is immersed in its philosophy and operation.

Relations with labor unions
Strengthening relations with all union stakeholders continues to be a fundamental pillar for the Company. This challenge is assumed based on respect for the right of association, freedom of association, collective bargaining and, of course, abiding by and complying with Colombian labor regulations.
Therefore, the management of labor relations is of vital importance, not only because it is a right enshrined in the Colombian Constitution, but also because Drummond Ltd. is convinced that good labor relations reduce the possibility of affecting stakeholders, the Company’s objectives and its corporate reputation.
Relationship with communities and management of suppliers and contractors
