Covid Vaccination Intent

Since safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines have become widely available this year we have strongly encouraged employees to get vaccinated at the earliest possible opportunity. However as vaccines have been proven to be a very effective and safe way of protecting people and reducing Covid-19 transmission we have now announced our intent to introduce a policy that requires Covid-19 vaccination for access to all sites and offices. This policy would apply to all new joiners to the company as well as existing employees and contractors.

We are in the process of undertaking a comprehensive engagement process with all our stakeholders about our intent. This is so we can tailor our approach in each country including ensuring what we do is lawful. Once this is complete we will look to implement the policy. There may be differences in how and when it is implemented due to local context and legal requirements.
