Imperial plant wins employee care award

Imperial Tobacco’s cigarette factory in Antsirabe has been recognized for the high level of respect and care shown to employees.

Imperial’s subsidiary Sacimem was among 150 businesses to take part in a government scheme to evaluate health and safety as well as employee well-being.

The Sacimem factory, with 143 employees, was chosen as the best in the region and received a trophy in recognition of this from the work ministry.

Hervé Lamy, lead factory manager Indian Ocean, accepted the award and hosted a tour of the site.

“I’m very proud to accept the award on behalf of the company as it demonstrates the level of commitment we have made to our employees at this factory,” he said.
