Statement on due diligence (GOV-4)

Due diligence approach

We recognize that respecting human rights and protecting the environment are fundamental responsibilities of a sustainable business. We are committed to conducting due diligence in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. There are several internal policies and procedures to ensure that we and our business partners adhere to our ethical standards, such as the sustainable sourcing due diligence framework, the due diligence process for mergers and acquisitions, and the Responsible Sales Assessment. Protection of the environment and worker health and safety are also integrated into our ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified management system. These processes provide input to the double materiality assessment by identifying key areas of environmental and social impacts.

Identified impacts are managed through appropriate measures depending on whether Epiroc is causing, contributing or linked to an issue, as prescribed in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
