Our positions

Our Global Employment Standards summarizes our position on key human rights issues and our approach to managing our responsibility to respect human rights through our global operations and value chain. The principles embody common principles laid out by the United Nations in several acts and declarations.

Managers and employees are required to comply with all ASM policies, procedures and practices at all times and are responsible for consulting their management if they have any questions. Our goal is to ensure full compliance with these principles by ASM managers, employees, and suppliers.

We are committed to upholding human rights across our operations, supply chain, and products. We have implemented a dedicated Human Rights policy and established robust management controls. These are supported by due diligence processes that regularly assess human rights-related risks and potential impacts. We continuously review and update our policies and management systems and actively engage with stakeholders to inform and strengthen our approach.

The principles referenced in our Code of Business Conduct and Global Employment Standards apply without restriction to the whole workforce of ASM.

We will work towards an integrated approach to managing human rights across our business. We will appoint review committees in each relevant section of our business. The committees will be responsible for conducting due diligence and implementing policies and procedures to support our adherence to the principles laid down in Global Employment Standards.​​​​
