Employee wellness at Mpact Plastics

In the fast-paced and highly competitive world of business, Mpact Plastics increasingly recognise the importance of employee wellness as a key factor in driving productivity, engagement, and long-term
success.

Employee wellness encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and even financial well-being. A
healthy workforce is not only more productive but also more innovative, resilient, and loyal. As the
lines between personal and professional lives blur in today’s interconnected work environment,
prioritising wellness has become a strategic necessity rather than a perk.

To this end we regularly encourage blood drives, fitness and financial management programmes and
cancer awareness programmes at our plants in Wadeville, (Gauteng) Pinetown (KwaZulu Natal) and
Atlantis (Western Cape).

During the month of October, we focus on breast cancer awareness and encourage our employees
and their loved ones to undergo screening or conduct self-examination for early detection.

Educating employees on cancer awareness is a vital part of fostering a healthy and informed
workplace. Providing information on early detection, risk factors, and prevention strategies
empowers employees to take charge of their health. Our employees attend workshops,
informational sessions, and health screenings to help raise awareness about the importance of
regular check-ups and recognising symptoms.

Additionally, we offer resources such as access to professional counselling and wellness programmes
and create a supportive environment for those affected by cancer. By promoting cancer awareness,
we demonstrate our commitment to employee wellbeing and contribute to early intervention and
potentially life-saving outcomes.
