Employees

We are committed to respecting the rights of all our workers, whether they be permanent, temporary or casual, indigenous or immigrants from other Indonesian islands or elsewhere.

 

The Group seeks to provide fair employment, safe and healthy working conditions, opportunities for learning and development, and a workplace founded on respect for human rights. The Group uphold applicable labour laws and the principles and rights set out in the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the Fundamental ILO Conventions.

We ensure that workers receive pay and working conditions that meet or exceed applicable legal and industry standards and support a decent standard of living. In addition to statutory wages and benefits, we provide in-kind benefits such as housing, healthcare, childcare and education, where applicable. We use RSPO guidance on living wages to assess remuneration, taking these benefits into account.

Measures are in place to prevent any form of exploitation, including child labour, forced or trafficked labour and harassment. We prohibit the employment of anyone under 18 across our operations and require contractors and suppliers to meet the same minimum-age requirements. We use recruitment checks, supplier due diligence, site inspections, certification audits and grievance mechanisms to identify and address potential risks. We also provide access to childcare and education near our operations to help prevent children from entering work areas.

Workers are free to join or establish unions without coercion or interference, and collective bargaining agreements are in place across all our estates, covering 100% of employees. We provide grievance and whistleblowing mechanisms through which workers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation.

We give priority to the health and safety of our employees and those affected by our activities. Regular independent health and safety inspections are carried out on the Group’s estates, and regular management meetings are held to review health and safety.
