Human Rights Policy

We, BBHG SA, recognize our responsibility to respect human rights. We believe that our company has a role to play in protecting and promoting human rights.

BBHG SA is committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights in its operations and supply chains. In accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, our policy is based on the international standards of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labor Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

Human rights refer to a set of fundamental freedoms and rights that belong to every person in the world, regardless of their origin, beliefs, or how they choose to live their lives. It is a broad concept, with economic, social, cultural, political, and civil dimensions. For BBHG SA, respecting human rights means ensuring that everyone involved in or coming into contact with our operations, supply chains, and products is treated with dignity, respect, fairness, and equality.

Our policy sets out the general principles that govern how we conduct our business at BBHG SA. Together with our employees and business partners, we are committed to advancing the implementation of this policy across all our operations and supply chains. We recognize that challenges unique to these standards may arise, and we will work to address these challenges in partnership with relevant partners and stakeholders:

  1. Employment is freely chosen
  2. Freedom of association
  3. Working conditions are safe, hygienic, and take priority over material goods and profits.
  4. Child labor is not used
  5. Decent wages are paid
  6. Working hours are not excessive.
  7. No discrimination is practiced.
  8. Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion
  9. Regular employment is provided
  10. No harsh or inhumane treatment is permitted.

BBHG SA will continuously strive to integrate this policy into all relevant company processes and procedures to ensure its effective implementation.

We recognize that we must take steps to identify and address any actual or potential adverse impacts, whether directly or indirectly related to our business activities or relationships. We understand that human rights due diligence is a dynamic and ongoing process that requires acting on findings, monitoring our actions, and communicating to our stakeholders how we are addressing impacts.

As our human rights risks and impacts may vary over time, this policy will be subject to review if our human rights due diligence process proves inadequate.
