Human Rights

Why?

We must conduct our business operations in ways that respect the human rights of everyone.

Our Commitments

  • We are uncompromising and always remain vigilant to ensure that our business dealings (including our supply chain) do not support any form of human rights violations.
  • We never tolerate any form of child labor, forced labor, human trafficking or other practice of modern slavery in our operations or our supply chain.
  • We seek to provide fair wages, reasonable working hours, benefits and other conditions of employment in line with international labor standards, applicable laws and labor rights principles.
  • We support the right to work in a safe and secure environment with equal opportunity and free from any form of discrimination, harassment, abuse or retaliation.
  • We respect the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining and encourage open and transparent dialogue with all colleagues and, where applicable, representatives of organized labor groups.
  • We carry out appropriate human rights due diligence of our own operations, business partners and suppliers.

Your Role

  • Ensure that all colleagues and everyone we work with is doing so freely and according to agreed conditions.
  • Ensure that your behavior respects the rights and dignity of all colleagues and everyone we work with, and never engage in or tolerate abuse of any kind.
  • Support our human rights due diligence processes in our own operations, as well as in the assessment of new and existing business partners and suppliers.
  • Speak up immediately if you suspect anyone’s human rights are being violated in connection with our business, regardless of whether the suspected violation relates to our operations or takes place during other business activities, such as business trips or work-related social events.

Always Remember

Human rights violations continue to occur in almost every country in the world. We must therefore remain cautious and not assume these issues never have an opportunity to arise in Autoliv's business dealings.

Where to go for help

Never hesitate to Speak Up and ask for help or seek guidance. Remember, you are protected from retaliation, and every concern raised will be carefully investigated, with appropriate remedy where needed.
