Umicore Human Rights Policy

Umicore Human Rights Policy - At Umicore, we consider respect for human rights a fundamental component of responsible corporate governance. We are committed to upholding internationally recognized human rights and labour rights in line with the following standards: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Labour Organization's Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, International Labour Organization's core labour standards. Our approach is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UN Global Compact. This policy covers our own workforce and the workers in the value chain. Key principles include banning of child labour (minimum age 18, except in internship/vocational training programs with minimum age 15), and various other provisions related to forced labour, freedom of association, non-discrimination, working conditions, and remediation processes.
