Considering this, we conduct internal awareness sessions to educate and inform our employees accordingly.
We recognize that our activities have the potential to impact on the rights and well-being of our employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate. Hence, we've put into effect a Human Rights Policy that cultivates a culture of respect for human rights throughout our supply chain and business operations including the respect for Human Dignity and Equality, Labor Rights (Freedom of Association, Fair Wages, Safe and Healthy Workplace, Child and Forced Labor). We have implemented compliance measures and we aim to achieve continuous improvement.
