Human Rights
At Syensqo, we are deeply committed to business integrity and to the principles that form the foundation of the way we do business, including respecting human rights. Upholding human rights goes beyond mere compliance with local laws and regulations; it aligns with the core ethics and values outlined in our Code of Business Integrity and Supplier Code of Business Integrity. These principles guide us in our actions and decisions within Syensqo and across our business partnerships.
In 2024 we established a cross-functional taskforce led by Ethics & Compliance to advance our human rights due diligence journey and address potential gaps. We are dedicated to continuously improving and strengthening our approach to uphold human rights across all stages of our operations and our supply chain. We have developed a risk management system that includes human rights and that helps us identify, assess, and address risks. We expect our suppliers to adhere to the same standards. More details can be found in our Human Rights Progress Report below.
Human Rights Progress Report
In 2024 we published our first stand-alone Human Rights Progress Report, available here, which details our human rights principles, journey, and progress. The report highlights our proactive response to the evolving regulatory landscape and global human rights challenges. The report showcases our commitment to human rights, our journey, key achievements and identifies opportunities for continuous improvement.
