Cellnex operates in alignment with these international reference standards, which serve as the framework for conducting the Human Rights Due Diligence process. This exercise aims to identify the most critical and prioritised actual and potential adverse impacts across the Cellnex value chain. Cellnex commits to regularly sharing its progress in adhering to human rights principles with internal and external right holders, thereby prioritising transparency and accountability. Cellnex voluntarily conducts an annual Human Rights Due Diligence exercise in accordance with the regulatory frameworks established by the OECD and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The objective of this assessment is to identify the most critical and high-priority actual and potential adverse impacts across Cellnex’s entire value chain. In 2024 the assessment was aligned with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) / ESRS requirements. This exercise provided a holistic view of the organisation’s operations, highlighting overlaps and gaps in human rights considerations within the broader context of sustainability. By adopting this integrated approach, Cellnex can be more effective at identifying and mitigating risks, ensuring that human rights considerations are adequately addressed within the broader framework of ESG risks. In this context, oversight of the Human Rights Due Diligence process falls under the purview of the Risk Management department, working in tandem with the ESG department. Together, they oversee the involvement of various company departments and are tasked with advocating, assessing, and reporting on the implementation of the Human Rights Policy at both local and global levels. The report related to the Human Rights Due Diligence and Assessment Process is available on the corporate website.

Cellnex discloses its actions to address material negative and positive impacts, manage material risks, and pursue material opportunities related to its workforce through various comprehensive measures, ensuring transparency and accountability. Firstly, Cellnex tracks several key performance indicators (KPIs) related to equal treatment and opportunities, such as women hires, career advancement for women, and women in management positions. These KPIs are monitored quarterly and are linked to short or long-term incentives.

Additionally, the team prepares every quarter the 'People Health Index document', which includes not only the before-mentioned KPIs but also many more related to Workforce and its dimensions (gender, age, nationalities, etc.), hires, leaves and movements status, attrition rate, exit interviews feedback, etc. Its main purpose is to collect up-to-date relevant Group People’s information, in a quarterly basis, that allows Cellnex to track data and KPIs, compare periods and its evolution, stick to defined priorities and objectives and take data-driven decisions.

Furthermore, the company reports on gender pay gaps and is working to ensure compliance with European directives on pay transparency. In terms of diversity, Cellnex includes all Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives and promotes work-life balance through Pulse surveys, town halls, remote working policies, and well-being activities. The company also emphasises linguistic and cultural diversity by incorporating non-local profiles and cultural awareness initiatives. The company is committed to preventing exploitative labour practices and engages its workforce in discussions about real and potential impacts, ensuring their involvement in decision-making processes. Furthermore, Cellnex uses various channels to gather feedback and address concerns from its workforce, including grievance mechanisms, hotlines, trade unions, and works councils. These channels help the company gain insights into the management of impacts on its workforce and ensure that employees’ concerns are addressed effectively. By implementing these measures and regularly disclosing their effectiveness, Cellnex demonstrates its commitment to managing material risks and opportunities related to its workforce while fostering a transparent and inclusive work environment.
