Mersen's policies are based on and fully respect the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Global Compact.
We comply with all applicable laws and we respect internationally recognized human rights wherever we operate.
Where national law and international human rights standards differ, we follow the higher standard; where they are in conflict, we adhere to national law and seek ways to respect international human rights to the greatest extent possible.
This Human Rights Policy elaborates on the requirements set out in the Mersen Code of Ethics, the Mersen Children's Rights policy and the Anti-Slavery policy, bringing greater clarity to our approach to respecting human rights across our global business.
