Upholding Workers’ Welfare and Well-being

  • We strive to work with contractors in protecting the rights of workers they hire to work on our sites. We also ensure that workers are employed through fair and ethical sourcing practices and are treated with dignity and respect.
  • We will put in place measures to ensure that our operations and those of our significant suppliers are not involved in unethical labour practices, such as child labour, trafficked labour or forced labour.
  • We will work with contractors to ensure that accommodation and facilities are equipped with basic amenities and all necessary measures to provide safe, clean, healthy and dignified living and working conditions.

Prohibiting Child Labour

We will adhere to minimum age provisions of applicable laws and regulations, remaining consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the relevant standards under the International Labour Organization. We are committed to ensuring that no young children are employed directly by our organisation or our contractors.

Employee Rights

Safe and Healthy Workplace

Our organization prohibits the use of all forms of forced or child labour, slave labour and any form of human trafficking. We will provide a secure, safe and healthy workplace in compliance with local workplace safety and health legislations. We will also maintain a productive workplace by minimising the risk of accidents, injury and exposure to health risks. All employees shall receive the necessary health and safety training for their line of work. In accordance with our whistleblowing policy, employees can provide feedback to management through our whistleblowing channels without fear of reprisal or retaliatory action.

Salary and Benefits

We will compensate employees relative to the industry and local labour market. We will operate in full compliance with applicable government policies on wages, work hours, overtime and benefits laws. We will also offer employees opportunities to develop their skills and capabilities and provide advancement opportunities where possible.

Work Hours

The working hours of our employees shall comply with applicable laws. Recognising the need for employees to balance their working life with other interests and responsibilities, we offer flexible work arrangements whenever possible, and discourage excessive working hours, as far as is reasonably practicable within the constraints of effectively running the business.

Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining

We respect our employees’ right to join or form a labour union without fear of reprisal or harassment. We shall not discriminate against employees’ legal bargaining representatives. National and other applicable laws and regulations concerning an individual’s freedom of association shall be complied with at all times.

Accountability

Our organisation is committed to conducting regular audits and assessments to ensure compliance with this human rights policy.

Any employee found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
