deSter Sustainability Report 2022

LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE ESG REPORT DESTER 2022
HUMAN
RIGHTS
Along with the launch of our #People-
PlanetProduct approach, we paid special
attention to governance. In 2022 we
renewed policies that affirm our commitment
to respecting and protecting
internationally accepted human rights.
The assessment showed that we have a
robust governance framework in place. At
the same time, we recognize that we must
be vigilant to protect our stakeholders.
We will continue to implement additional
measures as outlined in an action list,
alongside other governance topics, and
address them quarterly at leadership
team meetings.
We signed the UN Global Compact and
have committed to integrate the 10 universally
accepted principles related to
human rights, labor, environment and
anti-corruption into our culture, operations
and strategies.
As part of our due diligence, our leadership
team conducted an in-depth risk
assessment of our existing approach to
identify and eliminate any potential human
rights risks in our business activities
or supply chain.
Furthermore, when necessary, deSter
will take action in specific cases where
national legislation does not provide adequate
provisions against human rights
violations.
In 2022, as in the years before, no incidents
of human rights violations were
reported on child or forced labor.
