HUMAN RIGHTS (HR)
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world; (...) Whereas it is essential that human rights should be protected by rules of law, if you want to avoid that man is compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression; (...) Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge; THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

(DMA) RadiciGroup has always pursued as a fundamental value, at the basis of all its activities, full respect of the human rights of all its Employees and Stakeholders. The importance attached to the respect of these rights is structured in particular by one of the Group’s values: “The centrality of the person, respect for their physical and cultural integrity” 84
Compliance with the legislation in force in any part of the world, regular and mostly collective agreements for all workers (79% of all contracts made with our Employees as evidenced by the Table 17), are proof RadiciGroup does not oppose, but rather favours, forms of collective bargaining that best protect workers. (INDICATOR G4-HR3) In the year 2015, no incident of discrimination or reports, infringements or sanctions pertaining to a breach of Human Rights were recorded in RadiciGroup Companies. (DMA) However, in order to work on building a supply chain ever more attentive to the conditions of the workers, the RadiciGroup Ethics Committee and the GRI Coordination Group addressed the issue and again reiterated its importance, respectively, in the Supplier Code of Conduct and the Customer Code of Conduct, previously discussed. Both of these documents contain commitments that the Group makes, and ask our customers and suppliers to make, with regard to the respect of fundamental human rights: • Suppliers pledge not to use bonded or forced labour. • Suppliers should not resort to any kind of child labour in their supply chain or in their business activities, in accordance with the fundamental rules of the ILO (International Labour Organization) and the United Nations Global Compact principles.
