INTRODUCTION In Grundfos we want to contribute to having a positive impact in the communities where we are present and in our business interactions. We do not tolerate any form of forced labor nor human trafficking. Respect for Human Rights is an essential part of how we put Grundfos values to practice and an essential part of our day to day business activities, being one of the 15 principles of Grundfos Code of Conduct. CODE OF CONDUCT HUMAN RIGHTS Grundfos Code of Conduct is our commitment to do business in an ethical and responsible way wherever we operate around the world. To us, it is an important global standard that we carry out and live by. Through ongoing training, we equip our employees to face the ethical dilemmas they may come across in their business activities. Our commitment to our values and Code of Conduct extends to the supply chain, as it can be read in Grundfos Supplier Code of Conduct and Grundfos Human Rights policy. In line with our commitment to respect Human Rights and as part of the progress on our Human Rights due diligence, we developed a statement to explain the efforts we have engaged in to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. This is also in response to legislation such as the UK Modern Slavery Act but more than anything to increase transparency and share our journey. Our work with Human Rights SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT We continually work with suppliers along the global supply chain to ensure they comply with our standards. Our focus is on cooperation, accountability and sustainability audits, which will strengthen the implementation of Grundfos Suppliers Code of Conduct. Our work with Human Rights considers the International Bill of Human Rights and the ILO declaration on fundamental principles and rights at work, as it can be read in Grundfos Human Rights policy. This includes the prohibition of slavery and servitude as well as the elimination of forced and compulsory labour. Grundfos’ Supplier Code of Conduct regarding Forced Labour: “The supplier must not participate in, or benefit from, any form of forced or compulsory labour. The workers must have the freedom of movement during the course of their employment. The supplier must not withhold the identity cards, travel documents and other important personal papers of its employees, thereby preventing the employees from ending their employment.”
