BACKGROUND
We focus on areas of human rights most relevant to our business ensuring the rights of the local people where we operate are protected. We are working to raise further awareness of our human rights approach and will continue to develop policies and procedures relevant to this area.
We are also working with our internal procurement team to embed further our human rights approach into our supplier contracts.
