Menschenrechte und faire Arbeitspraktiken
Upholding fundamental rights in our operations and throughout our supply chain.
Warum Menschenrechte und faire Arbeitspraktiken wichtig sind
As a manufacturing company, Greif participates in a labor-intensive industry. Our commitment to upholding international human rights and fair labor practices is directly aligned with our commitments to the health, safety and wellbeing of our colleagues. We maintain these standards and expectations throughout our supply chain. We are committed to working with responsible supply partners to ensure our customers’ confidence in our responsible sourcing and labor practices.

Greif maintains human rights and fair labor practices in accordance with the Prinzipien des UN Global Compact and International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We enforce various policies to manage our commitment to these Principles internally and in our supply chain. This includes our Anti-harassment, Child Labor, Verhaltenskodex für Unternehmen und Ethik, Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity, Fair Treatment of Others, Menschenrechte, and Verhaltenskodex für Lieferanten policies. Greif’s local HR teams leverage risk assessments, age and legal working status verifications, awareness training, localized gender equality procedures, and whistleblower procedures to implement these policies in our operations. To enable our colleagues to anonymously report potential human rights violations, we publicly post our global Ethics Line in all facilities. Each complaint is instantly directed to a regional vice president or director so it can be addressed appropriately. We investigated and resolved 97 percent of complaints in 2020. The remaining complaints are under ongoing investigation.
Our Human Rights and Labor Practices team is led by EMEA’s Regional Human Resources Director with support from members of the global human resources community representing each region and business unit. In 2020, we piloted a human rights audit across 48 Greif sites in 23 countries and constructed a risk matrix based on regional profiles, facility performance and other risk factors to prioritize higher-risk facilities. From this pilot, we intend to create a pragmatic, consistent program to identify human rights and labor risks in all our facilities, identify mitigating actions and implement best-practice actions and solutions in line with our commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, UN Global Compact, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights frameworks. Based on the learnings from our pilot we will finalize and embed the Human Rights Review process into our operations as an ongoing mechanism to ensure we are consistently auditing and improving our human rights and labor practices.
Ziele & Fortschritt
Our Human Rights & Fair Labor Practice goals are:
- Bis zum Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2025 werden 100 Prozent unserer Betriebe einer internen Überprüfung hinsichtlich der Menschenrechte unterzogen, die auf einem rollierenden Zyklus basiert.
- Bis zum Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2025 werden 100 Prozent der Kollegen in Menschenrechtsrichtlinien und -verfahren geschult.
In 2020, we began our Human Rights Reviews conducting pilot audits at 48 facilities, 21 percent of our production sites. As we finalize this program, we will continue to conduct the audits at our facilities on a rolling basis. As Greif University is launched, we will leverage this platform to better promote and distribute training on human rights policies and procedures. In 2021, we will review our goals and determine new 2030 goals.
