The Human Rights Practice is in line with significant third parties initiatives, including: the International Bill on Human Rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact Ten Principles, the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and Conventions, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Companies, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

In addition, to ensure full effectiveness, the Compliance function periodically reviews the Human Rights Practice and monitors its implementation to ensure it remains at maximum efficiency. This includes considering factors such as emerging best practices, changes in the Group’s business activities or the applicable legal and regulatory framework, and any possible violations or criticality that has been identified. These monitoring activities are carried out in compliance with the standards and third-party initiatives mentioned above.
