Make sure their own
corporations are not complicit
in human rights abuses |
We adhere to this principle through our compliance with all applicable legislation
in the regions in which we operate. As we expand our business activities into new
regions, we recognise that further monitoring may be required to provide full
assurance that there is no potential for complicity – perceived or real – in human
rights abuses. We have identified certain regions to avoid or to keep a close watch on. |
