Ethics & human rights
We work ethically, openly, responsibly, together and with others. We operate with the maximum transparency commercially possible, we do not make any form of political donations and we will not tolerate any form of bribery, corruption or fraud.
These commitments are spelled out in our Statement of Business Principles and Code of Conduct. Every employee, supplier and contractor and relevant business partners are required to uphold our Business Principles and Code of Conduct.
We apply the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights to help ensure our security measures are reasonable and responsible. We conduct human rights risk assessments at all locations and have identified sites in Colombia, Philippines, Peru, the Dominican Republic and South Africa as posing the greatest risk. Our focus on identifying human rights risk and preventing incidents is important to ensure safe and unhampered operation of our facilities.
We respect the legislation in each country in which we operate and we support the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization Conventions.
Operating ethically and in a manner that fully respects human rights is both the right thing to do and makes good business sense because it helps us to:
- maintain the support of people in the communities in which we operate
- attract and retain the best talent
- avoid costly delays in our projects and operations
