2. Human Rights A working environment that respects human rights contributes positively to society and to business. Companies can and should be a force for good by providing decent work conditions and upholding labour standards across their operations and value chains. It is crucial to ensure that no child or forced labour is involved in Schréder’s supply chain, and every stage of the process involves decent labour conditions, especially as some of our components are considered as at risk for lower labour standards. In 2020, Schréder Group adopted the Responsible Business Alliance 18 (RBA) Code of Conduct as its standard on Human Rights. Our goal is to protect Human Rights directly and indirectly by ensuring that Schréder’s entities and its supply chain are
safe and that workers are treated with respect and dignity. Schréder is committed to upholding the Human Rights of workers. This applies to all workers including temporary, migrant, student, contract, direct employees, and any other type of worker. All Schréder entities and employees, and the Schréder supply chain shall observe and abide by the standards on Human Rights included in the RBA Code of Conduct, including:
At the end of 2020, we informed all our operation Group suppliers, representing about half of the Group’s total supply spend, of this new code of conduct and required them to confirm adherence and compliance with the RBA standard. A total of 90% of Group suppliers have already confirmed their adherence to the RBA code. Phase 2 will address the RBA compliance of local suppliers (suppliers with whom our local factories work) and will ensure a minimum coverage of 80% of the expense within that category. Finally, phase 3 will focus on all other suppliers according to a risk-based approach starting with transport, temporary, and gardening/ cleaning staff.
