Human Rights and Modern Slavery Commitment

ZeroGeo Energy respects individual human rights as set out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in internationally recognized treaties, including those of the International Labour Organization (ILO).

Equally, we do not tolerate modern slavery, child slavery, or forced or bonded labour in any of our operations or by any of our business partners working with us or for us.

We acknowledge that human rights cover a wide range of aspects of social, economic and political life and are comprehensive in nature. We make every effort to prevent our activities having a negative impact on human rights. If they do occur, we will take steps to remedy the situation. And we are committed to conducting business in a way that supports and contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular Goal 10 Reduced Inequalities.

We expect all of our business partners to maintain equally high standards in their respective organisations and supply chains. As part of our procurement and contracting processes, we carry out due diligence checks on potential suppliers’ human rights and labour conditions practices in order to mitigate the risk of our involvement with suppliers who could potentially cause significant harm to others. We are also sensitive to the risks related to joint venture operators and their position on human rights and labour conditions.

We are currently developing a detailed policy where we will expand on our commitments to Human Rights and Modern Slavery. We have established a Whistleblowing procedure to encourage our people to speak up if they are concerned about any inappropriate, illegal or corrupt behaviour in relation to our activities.

All policies will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they remain effective and are aligned with best practice standards.
