Our Human Rights Sustainability Commitment

Support universal human rights as defined by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights through fair and ethical employment practices and our Code of Business Conduct.

Human Rights in the Supply Chain

We recognize that responsible supply chain management is essential to human rights practices. We have implemented a due diligence program for our supply chain. This due diligence method prioritizes communication and training, risk assessments, mitigation measures and collaboration, and monitoring for continuous improvement and follows global human rights legislation, international standards, and applicable import and trade restrictions.

We have established two working groups, the Supply Chain Human Rights Audit and Supply Chain Sustainability groups, which enhance governance and due diligence for our supply chain. We also engage and collaborate with relevant stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, and IPIECA, on human rights topics that include modern slavery due diligence, key legislation, worker welfare, and responsible recruitment.

We use several internal and external tools to facilitate supplier risk assessment, monitoring, and mitigation of potential human rights risks. These tools and systems include:

  • An internal, cloud-based supply chain monitoring platform and human rights dashboard that evaluate supplier risks, help us identify areas for detailed follow-up, and allow us to conduct supplier assessments and assign and monitor corrective action plans
  • Our new Supplier Sustainability Principles, which enhance communication with suppliers and build on our COBC through the inclusion of provisions on modern slavery, human rights, and fair recruitment
  • Third-party Human Rights Audits that cover Workplace Conditions Assessments, Labor Provider Audits, and Service Provider Audits
