Human Rights

Our commitment

At G2 Ocean, we are committed to respecting internationally recognised human rights in our operations, value chain, and communities where we operate.

By respecting human rights, we will not infringe on the human rights of others, address adverse human rights impacts and, ensure measures to prevent, mitigate and remediate such impacts.

We have based our commitment on international human rights and labour standards, including those expressed in the following:

Our Human Rights and Decent Work Conditions Policy

G2 Ocean has adopted a Human Rights and Decent Work Conditions Policy which outlines the company’s commitment, approach, and responsibility to respecting human rights.

The human rights policy interlinks with other policy documents of the company such as our Ethical guidelines, Supplier Code of Conduct, and grievance mechanisms.

G2 Ocean acts according to the policy’s expectations to ensure respect for human rights in all parts of our business.

Our Performance

G2 Ocean produces an annual report which is linked to our efforts to continuously embed human rights and implement adequate human rights due diligence processes into the way we conduct our business.

The Norwegian Transparency Act

As a larger enterprise resident in Norway, G2 Ocean is under the scope of the Norwegian Transparency Act. The Transparency Act shall promote enterprises’ respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions related to producing goods and providing services. It shall also ensure the public access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts on human rights and decent working conditions.

At G2 Ocean, we have completed a gap analysis regarding our work on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. The study identified some gaps, demonstrating that our work to improve human rights and decent working conditions must be continuous and systematic. One main challenge is having a good overview of possible human rights challenges in our supply chains. The analysis also identified several risks, and we will prioritise the main risks in our continuous work:

Commercial Risks

  • Violation of human rights by our customers and/or their supply chains.
  • Production of cargoes representing a human rights violation.

Operational Risks

  • Safety and other human rights risks for vessel crews.
  • Safety and other human rights for stevedores during load and discharging operations.

Procurement

  • The volume of services, suppliers and sub-suppliers makes it difficult to evaluate Human Rights in the Value Chain.
  • There is a risk of several different Human Rights breaches from both suppliers and their contractors.

Don't hesitate to contact our team for more information about how we address potential and actual impacts on human rights and decent working conditions.
