The policy explicitly highlights our dedication to ensuring freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced, trafficked, or compulsory labour, the effective abolition of child labour, and the elimination of discrimination in employment and occupation, among other critical issues.

Our Audit & Risk Committee receives quarterly overviews of all inappropriate and illegal misconduct cases across jurisdictions that have either been managed or are in process locally. This reporting includes incidents of discrimination, including harassment, which in 2024 totaled 5 substantiated cases. A dedicated team in People & Culture is responsible for sending Internal Audit an anonymous global overview. A dedicated system is used to confidentially report on these cases, ensuring country-by-country access protection and only to authorised employees. For GDPR compliance, all data on employee cases are anonymous.
