Human Rights Overview
Why is this Important?
Human rights issues are important issues that businesses are paying close attention to. Companies in the electric power and utilities industry should prioritize human rights responsibility in various forms, such as considering the impact of their operations on local communities, treating all employees fairly and providing equal opportunities for career advancement, reducing the impact of job displacement due to automation, as well as addressing investors' concerns regarding human rights due diligence in the supply chain. Data security and consumer privacy are also key issues in the digital era. Additionally, increasing social and political divisions may lead to human rights violations.
EGCO Group operates under the principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability, with a strong commitment to respecting human rights, which are fundamental rights that everyone should receive equally. The company focuses on non-discrimination and avoids human rights violations, while promoting human rights awareness and understanding among all employees. EGCO Group has developed human rights policies and practices for both employees and suppliers to ensure operations are in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Furthermore, EGCO Group adapts to societal changes and continues to take action to support community engagement, fostering an environment where everyone receives equal rights in all areas of operation.
