We are committed to respecting and promoting human rights in all our operations.
Human rights
International principles
We support the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO) fundamental principles and rights at work, as well as the principles of the UN Global Compact initiative and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. We are committed to respecting human rights and working conditions in accordance with these principles and implementing concrete actions in our daily operations. We also strive to promote these principles throughout our supply chain. We establish agreements with reliable partners and expect them to respect human rights and labor rights in accordance with internationally recognized human rights standards and applicable labor laws and regulations.
Our commitment
Human rights are fundamental and inalienable. We ensure a safe and hygienic working environment and continuously develop our safety culture. We prohibit all forms of forced labor within our value chain, including child labor and forced labor, as well as any other means of coercion that would force employees to work against their will. Light entrepreneurship is also prohibited at our worksites. We promote equality and non-discrimination in the workplace and do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or bullying. We address any issues promptly and proactively.
Subcontractors and partners
We require that all our subcontractors and partners comply with the same human rights standards and principles as our group. We actively monitor subcontractors working on our sites to ensure that human rights violations such as forced labor or child labor do not occur. For other actors in the value chain, we conduct risk analyses as necessary and mitigate risks by working with companies that have a reputable track record.
Training
We provide regular training on human rights as part of our ethical code of conduct. The training includes a printed version of the ethical code as well as online training with tests. We also provide human rights training for our subcontractors, and Kreate Group’s ethical guidelines for subcontractors are available on our website. We require both our employees and subcontractors to commit to respecting human rights and following ethical business practices.
Code of Conduct
Kreate’s ethical principles guide Kreate employees as well as Kreate’s subcontractors and other partners on what responsible conduct requires of them.
Whistleblowing
We have a so-called whistleblowing procedure through which it is possible to report substantiated suspicions of misconduct.
