Ethics – Respect for Human Rights as a Central Condition
Our principle is clear and unchangeable: respect for human rights (Human Rights Policy) is a cornerstone of all PORR’s activities. PORR is committed to the principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, PORR observes in its business operations the principles and rights set out in the "Declaration of the International Labour Organization (ILO) on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up" and aligns its due diligence processes with the requirements of the "UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights". With the Modern Slavery Act Policy Statement, PORR commits to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking throughout the entire value chain. Child and forced labour on its construction sites and within its sphere of influence are not tolerated. Employees are fundamentally guaranteed both freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.
We also ensure fair labour practices and the protection of human rights in the supply chain. The Group-wide Code of Conduct for employees, the Code of Conduct for business partners, and our Compliance Management System contribute to the achievement of these goals. Local procurement, selective supplier screening, regular audits, supplier master data sheets, and exclusion criteria support a comprehensive procurement management approach.
