    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. Respect for human and labour rights is embedded at the highest level of our organisation, in all areas of operations and extended to our value chain. We manage and report on our human rights efforts and remediate any breaches of the policies for our own employees and non-employees and for workers in our value chain. DSV’s Human Rights Policy is approved by DSV’s Executive Board. The day-to-day responsibility for the human rights strategy is managed by a dedicated team in DSV Group, which is responsible for providing policies, procedures and guidance to all DSV entities. Local management teams are responsible for implementing these standards within their organisations and the supply chains. This is usually anchored within local HR teams or procurement functions. Our commitment to protecting human rights is continuously communicated through training and other initiatives to ensure that employees understand what their rights and responsibilities are and how to raise concerns safely. The Code of Conduct training, which is mandatory for all DSV salaried employees, includes DSV’s approach to human rights. Each year, we conduct awareness campaigns to support compliance and adherence to our standards. Implementation of our Human Rights Policy is embedded in our global Human Rights Programme. The programme follows an annual four-step process: global risk assessment, self-assessment, corrective actions and training. The annual global risk assessment selects the DSV entities in scope for assessment based on considerations such as human rights in specific countries, the number of employees in vulnerable positions, the size of our operations, previously identified risks and corrective actions taken. Stand-alone human rights training are applied in all entities included in the annual cycle of the Human Rights Programme.
