Pleasant working conditions |
The French company Lafarge is a
major international manufacturer of building materials – cement, aggregates
and concrete, roofing materials and gypsum.
It sees part of its commitment to sustainable development in improving working
conditions in its factories, to make work less arduous and optimise both
site organisation and workers’ safety.
Lafarge India and the Indian
Institute of Engineers have awarded certificates to the first ‘batch’ of
mason trainees who received training under “Project Employability”, a
program launched by Lafarge India earlier this year. The program, intended for
uneducated and unemployed rural youth, was designed to increase employability of
the Lafarge plants’ neighbouring communities.
