Our goal is to ensure that the activities for which we are responsible respect and protect human rights. We uphold the human rights of all individuals impacted by our operations including employees, contractors and external stakeholders. It is both a moral and business case for ensuring that human rights are upheld across all our assets.

We operate as responsible stewards in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate, and we manage our activities based on international human rights standards, which are understood to be those referred in the:

• United Nations Global Compact

• Universal Declaration of Human Rights

• International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Where national law and international human rights standards differ, we will follow the most stringent standard and where they are in conflict, we will adhere to national law, while seeking ways to respect international human rights to the greatest extent possible.
