Human Rights
Thailand has ratified various human rights treaties, and International
Labour Organisation (hereinafter ‘ILO’) Conventions. So it is imperative
that as good corporate citizen of Thailand we ensure that we promote
human rights in all spheres of our activity.
ABG is a member of the United Nations Global Compact an international
forum that operates under the aegis of the United Nations and ascribes
to the human rights policy of the United Nations Global Compact. Our
approach to human rights is aligned with universally accepted human
rights standards and we support the human right issues included in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Employee Diversity
Workforce diversity and inclusion is a key driver of innovation, and
adaptability. Diversity is important to the organisation for cross cultural
management, engaging people to achieve business objectives.
It was a delightful year as employee diversity was reflected
in several aspects such as gender, race and age. The
population, male and female, were in good proportion,
38% and 62% respectively. The race diversity in the
workplace was visible significantly, 19% Myanmarese, 3%
of Indian and 78% of Thais. 50% of 2015 promotions for
local employees under management cadre were female.
Our human rights policy addresses key aspects such as nondiscrimination,
prohibition of child and forced labour, and freedom of
association and the right to engage in collective. Our human rights
policy applies to every employee and sits alongside other specific
policies such as health & safety, environment, and anti-corruption.
As part of our sustainability communications, we have briefed all our
governance body members, and employees on the Code of Conduct
that refers to anti-corruption and human rights issues. We have not
identified any human rights violations during the reporting period.
Human rights clauses have been added as part of our contracts and
assessed for all suppliers. Sub contractor employees can also contact us
directly in case of any grievance. We also train subcontractor employees
on human rights policies & aspects and have included human rights
clause in labour contracts.
Our approach to detect any violation of Fair employment practices and
Human rights is through periodic internal audits, external audits by SA
8000 certifiers, grievance and whistleblower mechanisms. We have not
detected any violation during the reporting period in our operations
and in our supply chain.
