Sustainability Report 2019
Human rights We are committed to upholding human rights, wherever in the world we work. Why it matters We respect the dignity, liberty and equality of everyone we work with and of all those in the communities where we operate. Our approach Our approach is aligned to Glencore’s human rights policy, code of conduct and global anti-corruption policy. We also take part in and benefit from Glencore’s Raising Concerns programme and compliance e-learning programme. We evidence our commitment through our participation in international conventions, including the United Nations Global Compact, a set of principles covering human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and the standards set out by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). We do not tolerate any form of workplace discrimination, harassment or physical assault, or any form of child, forced, or compulsory labour. We seek to reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate in our workforce. We value and respect people from all backgrounds, and we have a culture of diversity and inclusion. This includes – but is not limited to – nationality, cultural identity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender and age. We respect the rights of our employees and contractors, including the freedom of association and collective bargaining. Throughout our operations, we seek to avoid complicity in human rights abuses, and to uphold relevant international standards. We have grievance mechanisms in place which can be used by our stakeholders. These include the Raising Concerns programme as well as local systems at our operations. Our performance in 2019 We published our first Modern Slavery Statement in 2019, reporting on activities in 2018 and as part of our ongoing commitment to preventing the violation of human rights in our operations and supply chains. We had no reported human rights breaches in 2019. We had 68 concerns raised to us through the Raising Concerns platformwhich are investigated through our compliance team. There were a further 41 minor community complaints, a majority of which related to dust and odour. We take all complaints seriously and seek to minimise any impacts of our operations. We are continuing to work with offices and assets across the business to ensure they have appropriate grievance mechanisms and reporting processes in place.
