See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/environment-and-society\/strengthening-our-social-and-societal-commitment\/diversity-and-inclusion\/\">Diversity &amp; Inclusion<\/a> page for more information.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, ENGIE introduced business travel guidelines for LGBTQ+ employees. These guidelines outline the essential steps to safe and informed travel, including learning about local laws, cultural norms and LGBTQ+ considerations before travelling abroad. They offer practical advice on how to stay safe and find support when travelling on business, as well as advice on how to deal with any issues that may arise. The guidelines also identify destinations with potential risks for LGBTQ+ travellers and suggest strategies for navigating these areas safely, so that all employees can travel with confidence and in safety.<\/p>\n<h3>+ Example<\/h3>\n<h4>ENGIE, 1st for the representation of women in the CAC 40.<\/h4>\n<p>In 2024, ENGIE took first place in the L&#8217;IMPORTANTE-ARBA barometer published by Les Echos, which recognizes the Group&#8217;s efforts to improve the representation of women within the company. This ranking assesses the impact of companies&#8217; professional equality policies by analyzing parity, equal pay, the place of women in strategic positions and corporate culture.<\/p>\n<h4>Diversity Leaders 2025<\/h4>\n<p>ENGIE ranks 41st out of 850 and 2nd among utilities. The Diversity Leaders ranking, published by the Financial Times and Statista, assesses the efforts made by European companies to promote diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n<h3>Prevent the risks related to modern slavery<\/h3>\n<p>ENGIE&#8217;s human rights commitments are based on the best international standards as well as on national laws relevant to its activities, such as the French law on duty of vigilance and the British law on modern slavery. ENGIE shares the objectives of the UK Modern Slavery Act and takes several measures to ensure that in its operations and those of its supply chain, there are no modern slavery practices (including in particular: slavery, forced labor and human trafficking).<\/p>\n<p>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ENGIE-SA-Modern-Slavery-Act-Statement-UK-2024_VGB-publication.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ENGIE Statement on Modern Slavery Act<\/a> at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<h3>+ Example<\/h3>\n<p>The Modern Slavery Act 2015 requires certain businesses to set out the steps they have taken and are taking to ensure slavery is not taking place in their operations and supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>The UK entities set up a modern slavery working group (consisting of staff from the HR, Legal, Procurement and CSR departments) to coordinate the activities in this area. Each year, a revised and improved statement on modern slavery is published, as required by the Modern Slavery Act 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Having assessed the supply chain for the potential risk of modern slavery, ENGIE UK has identified a number of categories of services provided considered being at higher risk of modern slavery or human trafficking occurring.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to their engagement, new suppliers are required to complete a supplier questionnaire and\/or adhere to modern slavery contractual requirements. Suppliers are contractually required to implement due diligence on their own suppliers and subcontractors to ensure that slavery or human trafficking does not exist within in their supply chain. Suppliers are also required to notify us if they discover any actual or suspected slavery or human trafficking within their supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>ENGIE UK staff is required to undertake mandatory ethics training, which includes a bespoke module entitled \u201cHuman Rights at ENGIE\u201d. All employees are bound, by virtue of their terms of employment, and by policies, charters and codes of conduct including our Ethics Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Other risk management measures relating to fundamental workers&#8217; rights are set out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/environment-and-society\/strengthening-our-social-and-societal-commitment\/social-global-agreement\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ENGIE&#8217;s global agreement<\/a>, as well as in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/environment-and-society\/strengthening-our-social-and-societal-commitment\/mitigation-of-health-safety-risks-and-process-safety-risks\/\">occupational health and safety<\/a> and personal security policies.<\/p>\n<h3>Rights of local communities<\/h3>\n<h4>Prevent the risks of violation of the rights of local communities<\/h4>\n<p>The Group is particularly attentive to the impact of its activities on local communities. It specifically takes into account the situations of vulnerable people (such as indigenous communities). To do this, the Group assesses the potential impact of its activity on communities and ensures that their expectations are taken into account through dialog and consultation such as during the Cuxtal II gas pipeline project in Mexico (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/environment-and-society\/strengthening-our-social-and-societal-commitment\/stakeholder-engagement-and-dialogue\/\">ENGIE\u2019s Stakeholders engagement policy<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, specific human rights impact assessments can also be carried out in specific situations.<\/p>\n<h4>+Example<\/h4>\n<p>For example, for projects that have impacts on local communities, we can request the service of a third party outside the Group who carries out not only the consultation of local stakeholders, even when the consultation has been carried out upstream by the public authorities in the context of a call for tenders, but also the impact assessment of the project with regard to human rights with, if necessary, an action plan to be deployed by our teams locally (for example a sea water desalination project with a fully renewable energy solution in the Dakhla region). In addition, if the assessments reveal a risk of too significant impact of a project on local communities or other, we do not hesitate to renounce or stop the project. ENGIE, for example, has ceased all contractual relations with a mining company for human rights reasons.<\/p>\n<h3>Employee and site security conditions<\/h3>\n<h4>Preventing and managing personal safety risks<\/h4>\n<p>In certain situations, the intervention of government security forces or private security companies may be necessary to protect the employees and facilities of Group entities. The Group&#8217;s requirements include raising awareness among security managers and mandatory training for the staff of security service providers. These service providers are also subject to due diligence checks prior to employment. Contracts with guarding and private security companies systematically include the Group&#8217;s ethics clause in the general terms and conditions of purchase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>+ Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Brazil, for example, the use of a private security company to guarantee the security of a site, located in a region exposed to recurring security problems but isolated from the public forces was accompanied by a dedicated action plan: documentation requirements for security guards and in the contract, specific clauses, trainings against excessive use of force or violence and other contractual requirements to mitigate the use of force and its consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Other health, safety and security risk management measures are set out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/explore\/news\/a-modern-and-comprehensive-social-agreement\/\">ENGIE&#8217;s Global agreement<\/a>, as well as in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/health-and-safety\/\">occupational health and safety<\/a> and security policies.<\/p>\n<h3>Subcontracting, suppliers<\/h3>\n<h4>Prevent the risk of forced labor practices in the Group\u2019s supply chains located in China<\/h4>\n<p>For several years now, the Group has introduced a specific heightened vigilance action plan to identify and manage these risks for certain product categories. The Group has agreed to ensure compliance with international laws and actively monitors the situation to ensure that no forced labor is used anywhere along its supply chain located in China. In 2024, the Group continued its enhanced vigilance measures.<\/p>\n<p>The main measures implemented include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in-depth due diligence on suppliers carried out by independent experts;<\/li>\n<li>supply chain evidence requested from suppliers;<\/li>\n<li>written commitment from suppliers not to use forced labor;<\/li>\n<li>sending out questionnaires in which suppliers have to provide evidence that they ban forced labor;<\/li>\n<li>enhanced contractual clauses (general audit clause, breach of contract in case of failure by suppliers to meet their obligations, supplier\u2019s guarantee to comply with local and international regulations governing forced labor, from the procurement of commodities through to the delivery of a product);<\/li>\n<li>participation in several sector initiatives in solar (for instance, Solar Power Europe, with whom we work together with other actors of this sector on the development of a responsible, transparent and sustainable supply chain) and wind (for instance, wind Europe) to share and help improve risk management practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>+ Example<\/h4>\n<p>The NORTHAM region has strengthened due diligence on its solar supply chain and is working with other large renewable energy companies established in North America to improve supply chain traceability and exchange on good practices in terms of managing the risk of forced labor. ENGIE NORTHAM has signed the Solar Energy Industries Association\u2019s (SEIA) pledge against forced labor.<\/p>\n<h4>Prevent the risk of violation of the fundamental rights of workers in ENGIE\u2019s customer relations centers located abroad<\/h4>\n<p>The Group began to roll out an action plan in 2022. This plan targets certain Group\u2019s customer relation centers located abroad and is aimed at assessing the actual working conditions of workers in consultation with them. In 2023 and 2024, for example, controls to ensure the implementation of the requirements were conducted directly on site in certain customer relations centers.<\/p>\n<p>Other risk management measures related to business partners are elaborated on in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/explore\/news\/a-modern-and-comprehensive-social-agreement\/\">ENGIE Global Agreement<\/a> and in application of policies relating to occupational <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/health-and-safety\/\">health and safety<\/a>, personal security, energy supply risk management, non-energy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/suppliers\/sustainable-procurement\/\">procurement<\/a> risk management and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/ethics-compliance-and-privacy\/vigilance-plan\/third-parties-assessment\/\"> third-party assessment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Awareness tools<\/h2>\n<p>Tools have been deployed to raise employee awareness on human rights and duty of vigilance issues :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A training course on the Group\u2019s human rights approach was developed in 2019. Open to everyone, it is particularly aimed at operational staff and managers who are directly concerned by this topic.<\/li>\n<li>An e-learning module on human rights for all employees has also been deployed for several years.<\/li>\n<li>In 2023, the Group adopted a new Code of Ethical Conduct. This document, which replaces ENGIE\u2019s Code of Ethics and Practical Ethics Guide, sets out ENGIE\u2019s ethical commitments. Among these commitments is respect for human rights. The Code of Ethical Conduct, available in 15 languages, is published on the Group\u2019s website and can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/en\/our-commitments\/ethics-compliance-and-privacy\/code-of-conduct-and-policies\/policies-and-procedures\/ethical-compliance-system\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employee awareness campaigns are widely relayed in Group entities. Some entities have also, for example, made training on the Group&#8217;s human rights approach mandatory for all employees or are also implementing a training program covering the entire vigilance plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>+ Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At AMEA region level, the risk relating to human rights is challenging as it relates to the regional legal context where local regulations provide some restrictions on workers\u2019 rights (recognized by international organizations). The region promotes and implement alternative measures to enable employees to meet and discuss work related issues freely and independently such the Harassment Prevention Policy and the training sessions for new joiners including vigilance plan awareness. The region also implement a training program focusing on Vigilance plan and requests all employees to attend the human rights modules. The duty of vigilance has been inserted into the training sessions with a focus on the Group Human Rights Questionnaire to be filled in by the Business Developers.<\/p>\n<h2>Monitoring and measuring the performance of the human rights approach<\/h2>\n<p>The monitoring of the implementation of the Duty of Vigilance Policy &#8211; Human rights and of the deployment of the required processes is integrated into existing Group\u2019s ethical compliance processes: the annual ethics compliance report and the internal control system.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quantitative and qualitative indicators on the implementation of the required operational processes are included in the Group&#8217;s ethical compliance procedure. Each entity reports annually on the progress made in applying the policy.<\/li>\n<li>A control point designed specifically to assess the deployment of the Duty of Vigilance Policy &#8211; Human rights by the entity is deployed by the Group&#8217;s internal control system. It includes, for example, control points linked to the annual human rights risk analyses carried out by the entities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2024, 93.4% of the Group\u2019s entities assessed the deployment of the Human Rights Vigilance Policy at their level as effective (level 4, the highest, according to the internal control framework). An individualized action plan may be implemented for all entities whose results were found to be weak.<\/p>\n<p>The Group Ethics, Compliance &amp; Privacy Department (DECP) coordinates the network of Ethics &amp; Compliance Officers and ethics correspondents (in 2024: over 245 people), as well as Data Privacy Managers (in 2024: 130 people) throughout the Group. The Ethics &amp; Compliance Officers are responsible for promoting the Human Rights Vigilance Policy among the entities&#8217; personnel and ensuring the proper implementation of the Group\u2019s commitments locally.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, ENGIE signed a new global agreement on fundamental social rights and social responsibility. The agreement also provides for a monitoring of the commitments:<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Group commitments<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Follow-up (2024 figures)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Health &amp; safety<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">\n<ul>\n<li>Lost Time Injury Rate for employees, temporary workers and (sub)contractors: 1.7 for a 2.0 objective (representing an improvement compared with 2023: 1.8)<\/li>\n<li>Fatality rate: 0.009 (0.019 in 2023); target of zero each year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">ENGIE Care program<br \/>\n(minimum level of social protection for all employees worldwide)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fully paid maternity leave (14 weeks):<\/strong> 99% of employees covered at September 1, 2024 and 100% by the end of 2024 (in 2023, 73.5% of entities complied with this minimum, which represented, for 2023: 90.7% of female employees; in 2022: 66.5% of entities complied with this minimum)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fully paid paternity leave (four weeks):<\/strong> 98% of employees covered at September 1, 2024 and 100% by the end of 2024 (in 2023, 40% of entities complied with this minimum, which represented, for 2023: 62.3% of employees; in 2022: 27.7% of entities complied with this minimum)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Death benefits (12 months\u2019 gross wages paid in the event of death):<\/strong> 98% of employees covered at September 1, 2024 and 100% by the end of 2024 (97.2% in 2023 and 94.6% in 2022)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reimbursement of 75% of hospitalization costs: <\/strong>100% of employees covered at September 1, 2024 and 100% by the end of 2024 (98.6% in 2023 and 97.2% in 2022)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disability allowances (12 months\u2019 gross wages paid in the event of permanent total disability): <\/strong>98% of employees covered at September 1, 2024 and 100% by the end of 2024 (87% in 2023 and 79.2% in 2022)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Gender diversity: 50% of female managers<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Percentage of female managers: 32% (31.2% in 2023)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Gender pay equity<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\">Pay gap between men and women: 1.85% (1.92% in 2023)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_be09584730f3667b8892b745f0a441ad\" class=\"cp-downloads teq-container relative nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n  <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n    <div class=\"col-span-12 xl:col-span-10 col-start-1 xl:col-start-2\">\n         \n                  <div class=\"downloads-wrapper flex flex-col gap-32 mt-[32px] lg:mt-[64px]\">\n                          <div class=\"download-item p-24 lg:p-32 lg:gap-64 border border-solid border-lightUltramarine flex flex-col lg:flex-row lg:items-center justify-between \">\n                <div class=\"left-part\">\n\n                  <div class=\"top flex gap-8 flex-col\">\n\n                    <div class=\"nj-tag nj-tag--xs w-fit bordered\">\n                        <p class=\"nj-tag__text force-dark uppercase\">PDF<\/p> <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"nj-tag__icon force-dark nj-icon-material material-icons material-icons-outlined\">description<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                                          <p class=\"font-normal lg:font-bold lg:nj-heading--xs \" data-trad>\n                        Human Rights Vigilance Policy                      <\/p>\n                    \n                  <\/div>\n\n                  \n                  <p class=\"nj-color--grey-600  mt-16\">\n                                        24.09.2024  &#8211; 241.5 Ko                  <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"right-part mt-16 lg:mt-0 flex flex-col lg:flex-row gap-16 lg:items-stretch\">\n\n                    <!-- EVA -->\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"nj-btn eva-btn w-full\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" data-eva data-summary=\"true\"\n                      data-summary-content=\"The Human Rights Vigilance Policy outlines the commitment to uphold and promote human rights within the organization.
