Responsible culture

Our sustainability commitments are underpinned by our culture of responsibility. We safeguard our contribution to a regenerative and just transition by:

 

  • Respecting human rights by ensuring safe, fair, and respectful working conditions across our operations and supply chain.
  • Supporting our workforce to remain resilient and adaptable as business needs evolve.
  • Engaging with suppliers to drive systemic change and support regenerative practices across the value chain.
  • Being a responsible and inclusive business partner in communities - either directly or indirectly connected to our operations and sustainability initiatives. 

Our people

We are committed to fair working conditions and an inclusive, respectful environment where all our employees can thrive. This commitment is reflected in how we treat our employees, how we lead, and how we do business — every day, everywhere.

 

We protect human rights and fair working conditions, ensuring safe workplaces, fair pay, freedom of association, and zero tolerance for child labor, forced labor, or discrimination. Regular audits, risk assessments, and corrective actions help us uphold these standards across all our operations and suppliers.

Health and safety

Keeping our employees safe and healthy is not just a requirement – it’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. When people feel protected, cared for, and empowered to make safe choices, they carry that mindset beyond the workplace – to their families, their communities, their everyday lives. That is why we believe in promoting a culture of safety and wellbeing that lasts 24 hours a day.

 

That’s why our commitment is unwavering. By focusing on prevention, care, and wellbeing, we not only protect the rights and dignity of every person in our organization – we also strengthen our shared future. Because when people thrive, so does our company. Fewer accidents. Healthier teams. Stronger engagement. It’s all connected. And it all starts with putting people first.

Governance and ethics

We act with professionalism and integrity in all our business dealings, guided by the ethical principles set out in the SIG Code of Conduct. These principles include ethical and compliant behavior including promoting fair and respectful treatment and ensuring responsible, transparent engagement with all stakeholders. 

 

We encourage all our people to speak up without fear of retaliation if they have any questions or concerns, including those related to bribery and corruption, via their line managers, our People and Culture teams, global and regional Legal and Compliance Officers or via our confidential Integrity and Compliance Hotline.
