We support the UN's Universal Declaration on Human Rights
and the core conventions of the International Labour Organization

Working conditions
Our employees are entitled to safe and healthy workplaces. No
employee shall be subject to any physical, psychological or sexual
harassment, punishment or abuse.

We recognize diversity as a strength. Discrimination against any
employee in respect of race, ethnic background, gender, disability,
sexual orientation, religion, political opinion, maternity, social
origin or similar characteristic is prohibited.
Freedom of association
Employees have the right to organise, join associations and
bargain collectively, if they wish to.
Free choice of employment
Any form of involuntary labour is prohibited.
Child labour
Use of child labour is not permissible. The minimum age for employment
shall be in accordance with the ILO convention (14 or 15 years)
or the age specified by local legislation if higher. The employment
of young persons shall not jeopardise their education or their
development.
Remuneration
Wages shall be paid direct to the employees. Employees shall be
paid at least the minimum legal wage or the wage specified in
an applicable collective labour agreement.
Working hours
Working hours shall not exceed 48 hours and overtime 12 hours
per week on average over a year, unless other conditions are specified
in local laws or an applicable collective labour agreement.
