Our sphere of influence on human rights issues

The diagram shows our sphere of influence on human rights issues. We have a stronger influence closer to our operations and those working with us, but we are still active at the national and international level.

1 - Employees: direct responsibility for issues like labour rights, working conditions and freedom from discrimination.
2 - Suppliers and contractors: significant influence through setting standards, screening and training for security staff, local hiring and respectful treatment of third-country nationals.
3 - Communities: help at a local level with issues like standards used when relocating people, respecting cultural identity, encouraging access to education and avoiding negative health impacts from our facilities.
4 - National governments: support host governments’ efforts to improve their human rights performance including through our contribution to economic development.
5 - International efforts: help by supporting voluntary initiatives like the Global Compact, the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and the International Labour Organization declarations.
