At NCC we support and respect international conventions concerning human rights and promote diversity and equality. Equal treatment and equal opportunities apply to everyone irrespective of gender, transgender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ethnical background, religious beliefs, disability or age.

Practical guidelines Human Rights

  • I base all employment decisions on objective criteria and on qualifications, such as education, prior experience and merit.
  • I am conscious of my own behavior and the effect it may have on others.
    I never make statements or tell jokes that may be understood or interpreted as degrading or humiliating to others.
  • If I see bad behavior or lack of equality, but do not feel free to express my concerns, I can use the NCC Tell Me function, where my reports are treated in confidence.

Practical guidelines Harassment and forced labor

  • I contribute to a work environment that is free of hostile, violent, threatening or bullying behavior.
  • I report suspicions of harassment, unwelcome conduct of such nature, forced labor, physical punishment or pressure at any NCC workplace or at any supplier, distributor or other business partner. I report to NCC management or use the NCC Tell Me function, where my reports are treated in confidence.

Practical Guidelines - Honoring obligations

  • I report my suspicions when I observe employees, employees of subcontractors or suppliers, who do not appear to be covered by national laws, lack social security or do not receive at least the minimum wage.
  • If the documentation or credentials of an employee granting him/her access to the worksite are unclear, I report this to NCC management or NCC Group Security. The NCC Tell Me function can also be used.

Practical Guidelines - Child labor

  • I make sure that I am aware of the minimum age requirements under applicable laws before employing anyone under the age of 18.
  • I report suspicions of child labor at any NCC workplace, or at any supplier, distributor or other business partner, to NCC management or NCC Group Security. I can also use the NCC Tell Me function, where my reports are treated in confidence.

Practical Guidelines Freedom of Assocation

  • I respect the right of employees to form and join a trade union of their choice without fear of intimidation or reprisal, in accordance with local laws.
  • I never interfere with the official, legally sanctioned activities of workers’ representatives.
  • I also respect workers’ representatives from subcontractors and suppliers as they are a part in projects.
