URW recognises that its workforce is a key asset and the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with it are closely linked to the Company's strategy and business model.

URW's approach to value chain workers is embodied in an interconnected set of policies on human rights, modern slavery, responsible procurement, and Health & Safety, reflecting URW's commitment to uphold the highest standards in these areas. The Group recognises that its operations can have direct and indirect impacts on human rights and remains committed to make all reasonable endeavours in anticipating and mitigating risks as well as ensuring a positive contribution to the communities where URW operates. URW's Human Rights Policy (see the latest version on URW's website) reinforced the commitment adopted in 2004 by signing the UNGC. It applies to all employees, entities and operations under the umbrella of URW, including subsidiaries and joint ventures. Contractors, clients, visitors, suppliers and business partners are to be fairly treated in line with the principles of the policy. The Group is dedicated to upholding human rights principles throughout its supply chain from corporate headquarters to individual project sites, ensuring consistency and alignment with its core values.
