Support and Respect

We support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights. We especially make sure to uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; and the effective abolition of child labour.

Protection of Human Rights

We strive to promote human rights in all our operations and expect our partners to do so as well. We encourage all our stakeholders, including employees, partners and communities, to react immediately if they observe any human rights abuses in our value chain.

Working on an equal footing

Freedom of Association

We uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining. We respect the right of all our employees and workers to freely and voluntarily establish and join a trade union of their choice for the promotion and defence of their occupational interests, without fear of intimidation or reprisal, in accordance with national law.

Elimination of discrimination

We uphold the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. Our operations are based on equality and our behaviour towards each other is professional and fair. Responsibility of treating everyone equally rests with the entire workplace community. 

We value and respect each other's work and individuality, and do not discriminate against anyone based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, citizenship status, age, health, or any other condition that could lead to discrimination.

We do not tolerate any form of substance abuse at St1, and we are committed to respecting our employees’ and business partners’ privacy and the confidentiality of personal data.
