Our Principles
1. Diversity and anti-discrimination
The makeup of our staff is large and diversified. We respect the diversity of our Board of Directors, workforce, and the versatility of our value chain. We do not tolerate discrimination and strictly forbid any discrimination against any employee based on ethnicity, nationality, region or social origin, social background, social class, lineage, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, family responsibilities, marital status, group membership, political affiliation, age, or other status protected by the local laws or laws of other countries.
2. Working hours, wages and benefits
All employment must be in full compliance with all applicable laws and apply international standards where laws are less stringent, including working hours, overtime hours, minimum wage, overtime pay, and legally mandated benefits. Employees shall be allowed at least one day off for each seven working days.
3. Freely Chosen Employment
Employees have the right to leave the workplace after the completion of standard working hours. Employees are free to terminate their employment contract after a reasonable notice period. All work should be done voluntarily. Employees have the right to terminate the employment contract in accordance with local laws or the reasonable notice period as agreed upon in the contract.
4. Prevention of forced labor and human trafficking. We require ourselves, third party employment agencies, suppliers and our business partners to ensure that all work is freely chosen. As an employer and global corporate citizen, we do not accept any type of forced labor, slavery, or human trafficking. These include the transportation, transfer, harboring, recruitment, or employment of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, or payments to anyone for the purpose of control.
5. Child Labor and Underage Workers
We prohibit the employment of child labor. We support the elimination of improper and illegal business transactions related to child labor and operate in accordance with relevant legal requirements and ethics. If underage workers are employed, their work safety must be guaranteed. They must not engage in work that could endanger their health and safety and must be managed properly.
6. Humane treatment
We are committed to treating our employees humanely and do not allow any form of violence or harassment in the workplace. This includes sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion, verbal abuse of workers, or threat of any such treatment.
7. Freedom of association
We recognize that all employees in many of our operation locations have lawful rights to associate with others, form, and join, or refrain from joining organizations of their choice, and bargain collectively. We support freedom of expression and are committed to creating an environment where employees can share their concerns or suggestions freely without interference, discrimination, retaliation, or harassment.
8. Workplace health and safety
We are dedicated to providing all workers with a clean, healthy and safe working environment. We maintain an occupational health and safety management system to achieve greater protection, where appropriate. It is our policy to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, reduce health and safety risks, and strive to achieve zero injury and incidents.
9. Ethics
We request that all Marudhar members should uphold the highest standards of business ethics, including, but not limited to, maintaining business integrity, using no improper advantage, anti-corruption, avoiding conflicts of interest, protecting intellectual property rights, anti-trust, and assuring conflict minerals in products are from responsible sources.
10. Value chain responsibility
We expect all suppliers to uphold these same values and comply with our supplier code of conduct, and conflict mineral requirements (Supplier CSR Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Declaration of Compliance with RBA Code of Conduct, Metal Origins and Declaration of Conflict Metal Free). All suppliers shall follow up on the above request and implement practices under an effective mechanism. Suppliers shall pursue actions to identify, monitor, and mitigate any adverse impact along the value chain.
