We’re proud to reaffirm our commitment to human rights through our updated Global Human Rights Guidelines. This serves as the third iteration of our commitment to protecting human rights across our business, operations and supply chain since we published our first set of guidelines in 2015. These guidelines reflect how our founding principles of integrity, honesty, fairness, respect and reliability are reflected in our proactive approach to risk management and engagement on human rights topics with employees, suppliers, clients, panelists and others. We will also be providing optional internal training for associates to learn more about how protecting human rights is part of everyone’s job.
「ニールセンの最高法務責任者（Legal Officer）であるジョージ・キャラード（George Callard）氏は、「信頼と説明責任は、私たちが企業としてあるべき姿の中核をなすものです。「ニールセンは、事業、オペレーション、サプライチェーンのすべてにおいて人権を尊重することをお約束します。私たちのコミットメントは、私たちが誇りを持ってサービスを提供するクライアント、私たちが生活し働く地域社会、従業員、サプライチェーン、そして私たちと情報を共有する消費者にまで及びます。"
ニールセンは、社内外のステークホルダーを積極的に巻き込み、彼らの意見や提言をよりよく理解することで、ニールセンのビジネスのあらゆる側面において、人権尊重の考え方を取り入れています。ニールセンのアプローチは、個人の尊重、地域社会への配慮、多様で包括的な環境の育成、能力主義の保護など、多くの具体的な方法で外部の基準やベストプラクティスと一致しています。
All Nielsen leaders are responsible for ensuring that our practices demonstrate a commitment to human rights. Functional responsibility for managing, monitoring and tracking the potential human rights impacts and risks of our business and operations is managed across a variety of functions, including: Procurement, Operations, Corporate Audit, Human Resources, Diversity & Inclusion, Global Responsibility & Sustainability, Legal & Corporate Affairs, Finance, and others. Each functional group contributes its own unique expertise and competencies to ensuring that relevant human rights risks are addressed or incorporated into existing policies or practices if and as needed. Our Integrity Leader program is one such functional group with responsibility in this area. This group is composed of regional Integrity Leaders and Integrity Ambassadors throughout the organization.
Human rights is also embedded in our overall approach to Risk Management through our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. This multi-channel collaboration allows us to take a more comprehensive and proactive approach to human rights risk management. ERM ensures that we are conducting ongoing, in-depth assessments through our existing due diligence processes, monitoring and reporting on these risks, taking appropriate actions when needed to address the risks, and integrating any relevant findings into our organizational processes and policies as needed.
私たちは、こうした取り組みやその他のステークホルダーとの関わりを通じて、世界中の人権に対する私たちのコミットメントを促進する新たな方法を模索し続けます。私たちは、社内外のステークホルダーと継続的かつ定期的に関わり、彼らの意見や提言を私たちのグローバルな方針と実践に取り入れることを約束します。
