Glencore : Upholding human rights to support the long-term development of local communities

Our Commitment

Our commitment to upholding respect for human rights extends to all those potentially affected by our business activities, including vulnerable groups such as women, children, indigenous people, and victims of conflict. We are signatories of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We are also a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals and the Plenary of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.

Our Approach

Our Board committee for Health, Safety, Environment, Community and Human Rights sets the leadership direction for our human rights programme and monitors the effectiveness of our policy framework. At a group level, we operate an integrated approach to human rights across six areas, including safety, people, business ethics, environment, communities, and health.
