Human Rights

We promote human rights awareness through engagement with host governments and local communities as well as by providing training to employees and contractors. We conduct our security activities using the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights as guidelines. 

While we seek to avoid causing adverse impacts, we acknowledge that they may occur despite our best efforts. We have multiple mechanisms for employees, community members, and members of our supply chain to report concerns. We are continuing our global grievance review project to test these internal and external grievance mechanisms against the UN Guiding Principles' effectiveness criteria (i.e., legitimate, accessible, predictable, equitable, transparent, rights-compatible, a source of continuous learning, and based on engagement and dialogue). In 2018, this included internal benchmarking and leveraging an employee training platform and existing stakeholder engagement mechanisms to solicit feedback from employees, community members, suppliers (including contractors) and other third parties on their knowledge of and trust in our various grievance mechanisms as well as how these might be improved. These mechanisms help us address concerns early and remediate impacts directly. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a question or concern in good faith and will protect the confidentiality of anyone who reports suspected violations.
