"Workplace Health and Safety Management is our key focus area and we maintain the highest safety standards in all our projects. We are extremely pleased to have been awarded 13 Sword of Honour awards and a Special Recognition Award for commitment to health and safety and for maintaining consistently high standards of customer satisfaction from the British Safety Council," said Sriram Khattar, Managing Director, Rental Business, DLF Group said, on receiving the Sword of Honour Awards.

"'Sword of Honour' is a testament to our passion, drive and commitment to safety. It is an important milestone in our Safety journey and we continue to strive for excellence by adhering to global safety standards at our workplaces," he said.

"The Sword of Honour awards that have been conferred upon us cover 32.8 meganewton square feet of our rental portfolio which re-iterates our stature as the preferred workplace partners across markets in India," he further added. "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. Excellence at this level is very hard-won.
