Human rights training
To ensure our commitments are embedded in the company, we provide human rights training. Our e-learning course provides general introduction to human rights, what challenges we face in FLSmidth, and what we can do to prevent negative impact. This course is available in seven languages, increasing its accessibility and broadening its scope to encompass more at-risk regions.For colleagues in procurement and sales, we conduct in-person training in fundamental human rights principles. As part of this training, we include anonymised real-life case studies to help our colleagues to identify possible human rights violations and provide tools to create a positive impact.
Employees can access information about our human rights policy and our training programmes on our internal website.
Access to remedy
We acknowledge our responsibility by offering access to remedy where our business conduct has resulted in adverse impacts on these rights. We have therefore made it easy to access the human rights grievance and compliance system by using our existing whistleblower hotline as it is confidential and the most efficient way to report grievances. Our grievance policy describes the process of filing and resolution of grievances.
Furthermore, we are constantly seeking to improve access to grievance mechanisms to the most vulnerable groups in our value chain.
