Human Rights

We do not have operations in countries that are considered to have poor human rights.

We will respect the rights of individuals and communities, and give them and other stakeholders the chance to get involved in decisions that affect them.

We set out how we will effectively manage our business and keep to the principles of human rights in our Public Position Statement on Human Rights.

We support the UN Global Compact (UNGC), which is a United Nations initiative to encourage businesses around the world to have responsible policies and report on how they work. As part of the UNGC we will support and respect human rights. We expect our business partners, contractors and suppliers to show a similar commitment.
