“Safety is our highest priority and underpins everything we do at Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka. This award demonstrates our commitment to ensure that all our people get home safely every day, across all of our operations.
“I would also like to congratulate the other winners who have shown such a strong commitment to making our workplaces in Sri Lanka safer,” she said.
