The policy is designed to safeguard the human rights of all stakeholders, including employees, contractors, and local communities impacted by the company’s operations. Cellnex commits to respecting the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact through the implementation of its Human Rights Policy.

The Human Rights Policy is published on the Cellnex website, making it accessible to all employees and external stakeholders. Cellnex ensures effective communication through both internal and external channels, engaging stakeholders and promoting awareness and understanding of the policy. Human Rights Due Diligence: as part of the company’s commitment to embrace, support, and respect human rights within its sphere of influence, Cellnex integrates core values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environment, and anti-corruption into its operations. This is documented in the company’s Human Rights Policy. Cellnex voluntarily conducts an annual Human Rights Due Diligence exercise, which helps the organisation proactively identify and address any potential human rights issues.

Risk assessment and management: to have a more holistic understanding of the company’s adverse impacts, Cellnex assesses human rights risks based on its business relationships along its value chain and how the company relates to its stakeholders.
