Human Rights

Human rights are at the heart of our purpose and values. We maintain our commitment to respecting human rights as they are defined by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Labor Organization's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGP) on Business and Human Rights, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Our global policies, procedures, and practices—including our publicly available Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Commitment to Human Rights and Combating Trafficking in Persons Policy—reflect our commitment to human rights and fair labor conditions and our expectations of those with whom we do business.

We assess third parties to help ensure violations of human rights, financial crimes, or other criminal activity are not occurring in our supply chain. We compete fairly for business, protect the privacy of data entrusted to us, engage solely in compliant human research, and engage in sustainable procurement, including no use of conflict minerals, among many other practices.

Within our business and operations, we are deeply committed to supporting our employees and treating them fairly, always seeking to maintain an equitable and inclusive atmosphere for a workforce that thrives on diversity. We provide access to benefits that promote employees' health, wellbeing, and security, and that of their families. We respect our employees' rights to discuss and agree to terms and conditions of employment without coercion and to freely terminate their employment. We ensure that our employees are of legal working age for their position and have a safe, healthy, and respectful workplace.

We engage with our stakeholders regularly to identify human rights issues of interest, the effectiveness of our efforts, and channels for receiving feedback. We integrate any findings into planning and decision making through means tailored to the circumstances and regularly evaluate for any changes needed.

In this report, we describe our general approaches to managing our impacts related to human rights relevant to our business.

  • Support and promote our employees' wellbeing.
