Human Rights

Oct 17, 2014
Respecting human rights is fundamental to our activities. This means that we act reasonably to avoid infringing on the rights of others, and that we swiftly address any potential or actual adverse impacts of our operations.
 


 
 
• We are committed to the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and we support the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
• Our Group Human Rights Policy was developed with close reference to the UN principles. This will enable us to strengthen our approach to protecting human rights, as well as the fundamental freedoms of our people and stakeholders.
• We support the ICMM Position Statement on Indigenous Peoples and Free, Prior and Informed Consent, which is reflected by our Group Human Rights Policy, which is being implemented in 2014.
• Our Group human rights policy is based on the framework provided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Our human rights policy underpins our approach to protecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of our people and our stakeholders.
 
Our diverse operations require the use of security for the protection of our people and our assets. We recognise the potential for human rights risks associated with this, especially in challenging environments. With this in mind, we use the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPs) to guide our use of private security forces and our interaction with public security providers (such as police), right across our organisation.
