Our Commitment to Human Rights
Respecting human rights and trading ethically are fundamental to the way we work.
This isn't just within our owned and operated businesses, but also with the communities and businesses we interact with.
Our international Human Rights and Ethical Trading (HRET) Policy underlines the way we seek to do business. It covers:
- core labour rights and dignity at work
- health and safety in the workplace
- fair remuneration
- diversity and respect for differences
- opportunity for development.
Our HRET policy has been developed to incorporate the highest international standards. These include the International Labour Organisation conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Cultural and legal best practice
We have also taken into account cultural and legal best practice from our local markets.
This policy applies to all our business units. It is backed by a rolling programme, putting in place processes for compliance within all parts of our business and our supply chain.
