We align our policies with relevant internationally recognised guidelines and standards. Our 'Global human rights policy' aligns with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and 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 and Rights at Work. Our 'Just transition policy' is aligned with the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Our code of conduct for business partners adheres to several standards and conventions, including the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the Maritime Labour Convention, IFC Performance Standards and the previously mentioned guidelines.

Further to this, it is our aim to ensure that our Whistleblower Hotline is widely available to value chain workers, although we cannot be certain that all value chain workers are aware of the channel and know how to access it. However, we ensure individuals who use these grievance mechanisms are protected from retaliation, and that all whistleblower reports are handled confidentially, in line with our 'Good business conduct policy' and 'Whistleblower policy'. For more information on how we protect whistleblowers against retaliation, see ESRS 'G1 Business conduct'.
