Health & Safety at Work

SAKATA INX truly values its human resources and building a workplace where our employees can work in a safe and secured environment is one of our most important challenges. The Health & Safety Committee was established under the supervision of the Sustainability Committee with the aim of preventing workplace accidents, maintaining and promoting the health of our employees. It works to improve the workplace environment based on the opinions of each workplace.
