Training is the first step to ensure respect for human rights in all spheres, so we not only teach our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to internal company employees, but we also ensure that our suppliers and contractors respect it. In this way:
- We help establish strong, long-lasting relationships with communities based on trust, mutual respect, and shared values.
- We ensure the safety of our staff, contractors, and neighbors, inside and outside our premises.
- We support training in human rights for external security staff to ensure they comply with the laws in force, as well as the international standards on human rights. Training helps to prevent arbitrary or discriminatory behavior that results in physical or moral violence against people. We design internal training plans to instill knowledge about human rights in the private security teams, and we give them the tools necessary so that they work guaranteeing respect. These training sessions cover topics such as the constitutional principles that uphold the rule of law, the importance that each individual fulfills their responsibilities, regulations about forced labor and coercion, child labor, discrimination, and constitutional rights, such as the right of assembly or the freedom of association.
Internal culture of respect
We ensure that the people who work at Repsol uphold a culture of respect for human rights, and we provide training courses for employees, communities, suppliers, and contractors.
