Human Rights

As a leader in emerging markets, Agility is committed to setting and enforcing high standards for the protection of human rights.

Global Human Rights Standards

Agility has implemented a rigorous fair labor program since 2007, with high standards for human rights compliance, management training, and employee training to build awareness so that all employees know their rights and how to exercise them.

How Our Fair Labor Program Works

roll-out

Independent
audit

There are four parts to our fair labor program. First, each year we ask our emerging markets operations to complete a self-assessment of their human rights risks, which we then combine with a market-based risk assessment based on recognized international standards that rate geographic and human rights risk. Second, all country management and HR employees go through management training, which includes real-world scenarios and applied-knowledge tests. Third, our Fair labor trainers roll out the program to all employees, along with detailed instructions on how to raise a concern via Agility or subsidiary reporting channels. Posters showing our human rights commitments are placed in offices, warehouses, and company accommodation where applicable. Finally, once the training is complete, an analysis is done and corrective actions plan created for the locality. An independent audit takes place once we address any situations that do not meet standards or comply with our policies. The audit cycle repeats every 3 years.
