Edocti is committed to conducting business with respect for human dignity, fair treatment, safe working conditions and responsible business conduct. Our approach is informed by internationally recognised human rights and labour principles, including those reflected in the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
This policy sets out the standards that guide our own operations and the expectations we seek to uphold in our business relationships. It applies to management, employees, contractors and, where relevant, suppliers and other business partners connected to our activities.
Edocti aims to identify, prevent and address adverse impacts that may be linked to our operations, working practices or business relationships. The way we implement this policy is proportionate to the size and nature of our business, but the principles are clear: people should be treated lawfully, fairly and with respect, concerns should be raised without fear of retaliation, and unethical conduct should not be tolerated.
Every person connected to our work should be treated with dignity, fairness and basic respect.
Our policy complements applicable law and the responsible business standards relevant to our activities.
People must be able to report concerns early so problems can be addressed responsibly and fairly.
We expect responsible conduct not only within Edocti, but also across our business relationships where relevant.
The following commitments describe the main areas covered by this policy. They are intended to be practical, understandable and relevant to how we operate as a technology and professional services business.
We support the protection of internationally recognised human rights and seek to reflect these principles in our work.
We are committed to maintaining working conditions that support health, safety and wellbeing.
Employment and work-related decisions should be based on legitimate business factors, not unlawful bias.
Violence, threats, intimidation, humiliation, bullying, harassment or abusive behaviour of any kind are not acceptable.
We aim to comply with applicable employment laws and to respect core labour standards relevant to our business.
We respect the right of workers to raise concerns, organise and engage in dialogue in accordance with applicable law.
We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, forced labour, bonded labour, trafficking or unlawful child labour.
While Edocti is not a mining or manufacturing business, we recognise that certain hardware supply chains may involve mineral sourcing risks.
Respect for privacy is part of respecting people. Personal data should be handled lawfully, securely and responsibly.
Human rights and fair labour practices are supported by a culture of integrity, transparency and lawful conduct.
People who raise concerns in good faith must be protected from retaliation, intimidation or disadvantage.
Edocti will review this policy periodically so it remains aligned with the nature of our services, our working arrangements, our legal obligations and evolving expectations around responsible business conduct. When concerns are identified, we aim to assess them in good faith, take proportionate action and improve our practices where needed.
