Diritti umani

Un chiaro impegno verso pratiche e principi aziendali etici costituisce la base per una condotta aziendale responsabile. In Siemens, rispettiamo e promuoviamo i diritti umani nelle nostre relazioni commerciali e lungo l'intera catena del valore.

As a global company, we are aware of our social responsibility and are fully committed to respecting human rights along the entire value chain. We regard this as a central element of integrity and responsible corporate governance.

Our holistic approach to respecting human rights encompasses our operations and considers our supply chain and customer-related business activities. We aim to identify and assess adverse impacts as early as possible and mitigate those responsibly.

Material human rights topics

Human rights due diligence can only be effective if the material topics are known, periodically re-assessed and integrated in a systematic due diligence approach.

This is why we turn to our findings from our stakeholder consultations, our periodic dialogues with key stakeholders, such as investors, shareholders, employees, customers and NGOs as well as our findings from grievance channels or sustainability audits.

Consapevolezza e sviluppo delle capacità

La formazione sulle capacità in materia di diritti umani è essenziale per stabilire una cultura aziendale che promuova valori, credenze e atteggiamenti che incoraggino tutti gli individui a difendere i propri diritti e quelli degli altri. Inoltre, aiuta a sensibilizzare sulle aree di preoccupazione in cui i diritti delle persone potrebbero essere messi a rischio. Sviluppiamo concetti di formazione mirati e specifici per funzione con il supporto di esperti esterni e partner.

Divulgazione dei diritti umani

Come parte del nostro report annuale sulla sostenibilità, siamo determinati a fornire trasparenza sui nostri progressi riguardo alle attività relative ai diritti umani. Nel nostro Rapporto di sostenibilità, forniamo informazioni su gestione e responsabilità riguardo alle questioni dei diritti umani, le nostre misure di miglioramento continuo, il nostro approccio alla due diligence sui diritti umani lungo l'intera catena del valore, il nostro impegno per i diritti umani e gli standard internazionali, i nostri meccanismi di lamentela e le nostre piattaforme di alleanza commerciale globale. Durante l'anno, siamo in contatto con i principali stakeholder, come investitori, azionisti, dipendenti, clienti, fornitori e organizzazioni non governative, per garantire uno scambio efficace su temi relativi ai diritti umani.
