WHO WE ARE
Human Rights
Respecting human rights and building strong relationships are fundamental to the current and future viability of our business.
We uphold and respect the human rights of our workforce, contractors, local communities and other stakeholders associated with our operations. The KCC Human Rights Policy is in line with the United Nations Guiding principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
We have developed processes to identify, prevent and mitigate human rights risks and impacts across our business. In the event that KCC causes or contributes to a negative human rights impact, we provide appropriate remedy to those affected, in line with the UNGPs.
Furthermore, we apply the United Nations Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights in the DRC where public and private security forces are engaged.
KCC has appropriate complaints and grievance processes in place and we welcome feedback and comments on our performance. Complaints are reviewed, and where necessary, actions taken to address the issues raised.
