Commitment to Human Rights and Fair Labor Practices

At Shield Pharmaceuticals, we are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that no form of forced, bonded, or prison labor is used in our operations or throughout our supply chain. We believe that all workers deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. As part of our dedication to human rights, we require that all employees, suppliers, and business partners fully comply with applicable labor laws and uphold the fundamental principles of human dignity as outlined in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Prohibition of Forced Labor and Human Trafficking

We take a strong stand against forced labor, bonded labor, and human trafficking in any form. Shield Pharmaceuticals firmly prohibits the use of such practices within its operations and expects the same from all of our suppliers and partners. Workers should not be subjected to coercion, intimidation, or any condition that prevents them from freely choosing to enter or exit employment. We are committed to ensuring that all workers have the freedom to leave their employment at any time, without fear of retaliation or exploitation.

Ensuring Compliance and Monitoring Practices

To ensure the integrity of our operations, we will conduct regular audits of our supply chain and workforce to verify compliance with these policies. These audits will be designed to assess whether any form of forced labor, human trafficking, or exploitation exists in any part of our supply chain. In addition, we will provide ongoing training to all employees and suppliers, focusing on human rights, ethical labor practices, and the prevention of exploitation. This training is vital in maintaining awareness and ensuring that everyone in our organization understands the importance of upholding these values.

Secure Reporting Channels and Investigations

We understand the importance of providing a secure and confidential platform for reporting concerns related to labor practices. Shield Pharmaceuticals has implemented clear and reliable channels through which employees and suppliers can report any violations or suspicions of forced labor or human trafficking. We guarantee that all reports will be taken seriously and treated with the utmost confidentiality. Any reported violations will be thoroughly investigated, and corrective actions will be taken where necessary. Our goal is to address any issue promptly and effectively, ensuring that our operations remain free from unethical practices.

Dedication to Ethical Business Practices

This policy is an essential part of our broader commitment to ethical business practices and the protection of human rights throughout our global supply chain. At Shield Pharmaceuticals, we believe that business success should never come at the expense of human dignity. We are dedicated to fostering a work environment where all employees are treated fairly and with respect, and where suppliers and partners share our vision for upholding high standards of human rights.

As we continue to expand and evolve as a company, our commitment to these principles will remain a cornerstone of our operations. We believe that by maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct, we can not only protect the rights of workers but also create a more sustainable and responsible supply chain that benefits everyone involved.
