Human rights and labour standards
We respect internationally recognised human rights and expect fair, safe and lawful treatment of workers across our operations and supply chain.
Our commitment
We respect the human rights of everyone affected by our business, including employees, contractors, suppliers' workers and clients, and we comply with UAE labour law.
Our standards
- Freely chosen work: no forced, bonded, trafficked or prison labour. Workers are free to leave according to their contract.
- No child labour: we do not employ or knowingly work with anyone who employs children below the legal minimum age.
- Fair pay: wages paid on time, in full, in line with the contract and the law.
- Reasonable hours: working hours and rest follow the law.
- Documents: we never hold employees' passports or personal identity documents.
- Recruitment: no recruitment fees charged to workers, and clear written terms before work starts.
- Equality: no discrimination based on race, nationality, gender, religion, disability or any other protected characteristic.
- Safe workplaces: safe premises, equipment and training.
Dignity and respect
We do not tolerate harassment, abuse or intimidation of any kind.
Supply chain
We require suppliers to meet these standards through our supplier code of conduct and take action if we find serious concerns.
Raising concerns
Employees and workers can raise a concern with management or through our Speak up channel without fear of retaliation. We investigate fairly and put things right where we find a problem.
Review
Management reviews this policy annually and after any significant incident.
