Community and Human Rights
Policy Framework
Communities
It is important to the Company that relationships with neighbours and local communities are conducted sensitively and with mutual respect. These relationships recognise that active and enduring partnerships are a central and fundamental element of our business. We aim to promote the sharing of economic benefit created by our activities through the conduct of our community relationships.
United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
We support human rights, consistent with the stipulations contained within the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and remain committed to upholding these principles. We endeavour to ensure that these commitments extend to all of our supply chains and we work with our partners and contractors to ensure that they are part of our contractual requirements.
United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Heritage supports the principles which underpin the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In particular we support rights to culture, identity, language, employment, health and education.
Land Access
We ensure that we receive the widest possible support for our proposals throughout the life cycle of our activities. We do this by working in partnership with our stakeholders to optimally and sensitively co-ordinate relevant economic, technical and sustainable development factors in an integrated process.
