Protecting our people

We expect the highest standards of behaviour by all of our people at all times. We ensure that the environment in which our people work is an inclusive one, where equality of opportunity and respect for each other is non-negotiable. We do not tolerate behaviours that are inconsistent with either our culture and values or with local employment laws.

Our HR policies and guidelines exist to reinforce the right behaviours. These cover, among other things: anti-bullying and harassment; equal opportunities; discipline, performance and attendance; preventing alcohol and drug abuse; how to raise grievances; and managing personal relationships at work. Where concerns are raised, we investigate and ensure that all necessary action is taken.
