'Sword of Honour' is widely recognised as the pinnacle of achievement in health and safety management. It is instituted to reward companies that have implemented global best practices in this field. To compete for the Sword of Honour, an organization has to first achieve the highest rating of 'Five stars' (92% score or above) in the British Safety Council's health audit scheme. The organization must then demonstrate to an independent panel of experts that they excel in health and safety management across their businesses.
On receiving the multiple Sword of Honour, Mr. Sriram Khattar, Managing Director, Rental Business said: "We are extremely pleased to have been awarded 11 Sword of Honour awards by British Safety Council. It is a moment of great pride for DLF and the country as we are the first real estate company globally to win 11 Sword of Honour awards in a single year. Being recognized for setting global benchmarks reaffirms our commitment to ensure that our workplaces have the highest health and safety standards."
"'Sword of Honour' is a testament to our passion, drive and commitment to safety. We continue to strive for excellence by adhering to global safety standards at our workplaces. The Sword of Honour awards that have been conferred upon us cover 80% of our rental portfolio which reiterates our stature as the preferred workplace partners across markets in India," he further added.
Lawrence Waterman, Chairman of the British Safety Council, said: "On behalf of the board of trustees and staff of the British Safety Council, I would like to congratulate DLF on achieving the very highest standards of health, safety and environmental management.
