SOC4: Human Rights
A company’s human rights obligations extend to practices explored by its supplier.
Investment and procurement practices should screen contractors and suppliers for their exposure to human rights violations including:
- discrimination;
- child labour;
- forced or compulsory labour;
- worker representation (freedom of association).
This is particularly important if a company is sourcing materials from outside Australia.
Corporations should employ strategies to prevent racial, sex or disability discrimination and to report any incidents that may occur.
|
Notes:
Where a corporation has multinational operations human rights violations and discrimination incidents should be reported.
Those violations and incidents should be reported by country.
If a company has obtained assurance from suppliers or contractors this should be reported.
Definitions:
Incident categories can include: age, gender, full-time/part-time/casual/contractor |
