We see human rights as fundamental principles for protecting people’s dignity and ensuring freedom and respect both in our own operations, in the companies with whom we work, and in the communities where we operate. Our commitment to upholding human rights is outlined in our 'Sustainability commitment', 'Global human rights policy', 'Global labour and employment rights policy', 'Stakeholder engagement policy', and 'Just transition policy'. Our 'Global human rights policy' aligns with the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights (UNGPs), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the International Bill of Human Rights, and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles & Rights at Work. 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.

We work actively to ensure a safe and inclusive working environment as all employees deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Employees can report grievances and complaints via the designated mechanisms, depending on the nature of the incident. Regardless of the reporting mechanisms and its severity level, we take all incidents seriously and handle all cases in a professional and confidential manner where all parties’ needs are taken into consideration. Access to remedy helps ensure fairness, justice, and protection for individuals and communities. It allows people to seek recourse and find a solution when they feel that their rights have been violated, promoting a more equitable and fairer workplace. If any employee feels they have experienced an instance of bullying, discrimination, or harassment, they are encouraged to seek support. We have established various grievance and complaint mechanisms for our employees, which are described on our intranet and summaries.
