Human Rights and Labour Standards We uphold human rights by respecting international and national human rights and labour standards within our operations and throughout our supply chain. Respecting human rights is a key pillar in supporting our long-term sustainability agenda by fostering investor trust and protecting our reputation. Our zero-tolerance approach prohibits all forms of exploitation, including forced or child labour, human trafficking, and modern slavery. Through stringent measures and a focus on accountability, we ensure that human rights are respected across every area of our operations. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Human rights and labour standards are addressed through robust governance at the Board level, where these matters are reviewed and deliberated. Supported by the Board Sustainability Committee (BSC), Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC), and Group Sustainability Division (GSD), the Board ensures effective oversight and integration of these principles across the organisation. Our Policy Commitments Human rights are at the core of our Group Sustainability Policy (GSP), which outlines our commitment to: WHAT IS OUR APPROACH?
