Guidelines and Procedures for Responsible Recruitment and Employment of Migrant Workers
Consistent with our commitment to human rights, FGV strives to ensure that the rights of its employees including migrant workers are always respected and fulfilled. Acknowledging that migrant workers may face a higher risk of falling victim to exploitation during the recruitment process, we are taking all necessary steps to protect the rights of our migrant workers. As part of this effort, FGV has revised and strengthened its Guidelines and Procedures for the Responsible Recruitment and Employment of Migrant Workers (GPRREMW). The enhanced GPRREMW, which was adopted in May 2022, not only provides greater clarity on the recruitment procedures, but also reinforces FGV’s commitment to ethical recruitment principles and standards by emphasizing among other things, its ‘no recruitment fee’ policy. The GPRREMW also outlines the requirements and procedures relating to pre-departure and post-arrival briefing and orientation, placement, working and living conditions as well as termination and repatriation.
Supplier Code of Conduct (SCOC)
FGV’s commitment to sustainability does not end at our operations. We strongly believe that sustainability standards must be fulfilled throughout the supply chain. Recognizing the need to ensure that our suppliers and contractors also commit and adhere to the same values and principles that we embrace, FGV has adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct (SCOC), outlining the principles and standards relating to sustainability; business ethics and integrity; safety, health and environment; and labour, among other things. With the SCOC, any supplier or contractor wishing to enter into a business partnership with FGV is required to commit to and apply the principles and standards stipulated by the SCOC.
