DSV is committed to ensuring that the rights of our employees, the employees of our suppliers and their sub-contractors are protected. In combination with our Codes of Conduct, DSV’s Human Rights Policy defines the rights of workers and our responsibility, standards and commitments for respecting and promoting these rights in our own operations and in the value chain. We are committed to adhering to the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Children’s Rights and Business Principles.
The scope of the programme considers both DSV’s own workforce and the management of risk related to value chain workers. Any findings and breaches of DSV’s policies are documented and reported and appropriate corrective action plans and remediation action are created, in our operations or in relation to management of risks for workers in our supply chain.
Specific audit requirements were set in 2024 for manpower suppliers in higher risk countries, where migrant workers are employed via these suppliers. This includes ensuring that passports are not withheld and employees are not requested to pay recruitment fees among other risks common to workers who are in a vulnerable position.
