We, Blue Elephant Energy Group1 (“BEE Group”), believe that Human Rights are a fundamental part of responsible corporate governance. Our ambition is that Human Rights are not only respected within BEE Group but also by each of our partners and suppliers. Our goal is that our organisation and supply chain is free from Human Rights violations and we aim to develop and implement further measures to support this objective.
With this declaration we underline our strong and binding commitment to respect and uphold Human Rights as laid out in:
- International Bill of Human Rights
- Declaration of the International Labour Organisation on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
- United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
- OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
This commitment forms the foundation, and we continuously develop and improve processes and measures to actively safeguard human rights.
To summarize, we at BEE Group:
- perform our activities in accordance with the applicable laws, the abovementioned standards and our values
- engage in a transparent dialogue and consultation with our employees, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders
- work to address the key risks of Human Rights violations that are relevant to our sector
- continue to improve our Due Diligence processes to better identify risks and embrace the most effective approaches to prevent and mitigate negative impacts on Human Rights
- request all employees and external third parties to report any suspected violation of these commitment or any related laws or regulations. Human Rights-related complaints will be investigated.
We will be constantly reviewing our approach to respecting Human Rights reflecting relevant developments. We can only be successful in the long term when we fulfil our corporate responsibility to respect Human Rights locally and globally.
