NEOT is committed to respecting the rights and dignity of all people and we expect the same mindset from our partners.
We respect the rights laid down in the International Bill of Human Rights as well as the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Our respect towards human rights is embodied in our Human Rights Policy, Code of Conduct and Supplier Expectations. Our official Human Rights Commitment was adopted in 2018.
We do not own or operate production facilities which makes it especially crucial that our partners and suppliers share our respect for human rights.
Key components of NEOT’s Human Rights Policy:
- Human Rights Commitment
- Fair wages and working hours
- Freedom of association and collective bargaining
- Discrimination
- Health and safety
- Forced labour
- Child labour and young workers
- Communities
- Corruption
- Privacy
Our approach to human rights is based on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP). We continuously develop our approach to managing human rights impacts throughout our supply chain. We are committed to improving our internal awareness and expertise in the field of human rights through training and communications.
