Human rights and anti-trafficking policy

Who it applies to

The policy applies to all Accenti employees and to labor agencies, subcontractors and suppliers. It works alongside the anti-child labor and equal opportunity policies.

Key requirements

• Freely chosen employment

  Work is voluntary. Forced, bonded, prison or trafficked labor is prohibited, and workers may resign with reasonable notice.

• Documents and fees

  Identity documents and passports are never retained, and no worker pays recruitment fees to obtain work.

• Written terms

  Every worker receives written terms, in a language they understand, before starting work.

• Wages and hours

  Wages are at least the legal minimum, paid in full and on time. Working hours and rest comply with the law and are recorded.

• Accommodation and grievances

  Worker accommodation is safe, clean and ventilated, with freedom of movement, and every worker has a confidential grievance channel.

• Supply chain

  Labor agencies and higher-risk suppliers are assessed before engagement and monitored, with these terms and a right to audit in their contracts.

Reference framework

• Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
• ILO Conventions No. 29 and 105 on forced labour
• Applicable labor and anti-trafficking law in Somalia, the United Arab Emirates and every country where Accenti works
