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.

Policy monitoring is generally conducted through external risk ratings, controversy reports, and adherence to the minimum safeguards of the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities, which are also subject to limited assurance by our external auditors. We are currently not able to fully assess our full value chain for instances of non-respect for these principles, besides the indications from our external risk ratings and controversy reports, which have not identified any material incidents. We aim to maintain transparency by documenting any reported cases that come to our attention related to human rights impacts involving workers in the value chain, whether in our operations or within our upstream and downstream value chain.
