Responsible Business Conduct
CSR 2016 – Boskalis
56
Integrity, reliability and responsibility are key elements for building
trust between Boskalis and its stakeholders. These intrinsic values are
reinforced by establishing guidelines and principles for responsible
business conduct, and ensuring these are maintained.
Boskalis has a General Code of Business Conduct (the “Code”),
which is based on international guidelines, including the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We endorse the principles of the International Labour Organization,
the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises. Boskalis accepts responsibility for matters which lie
within its sphere of influence. In the countries where Boskalis operates,
we are subject to national legislation and regulations. Boskalis
refrains from cultural judgments and conducts itself as a good
citizen or guest. We adhere to relevant international and national
sanctions. Boskalis reviews its Code at least once every two years,
most recently at the beginning of 2016.
The full text of our
General Code of Business Conductis available
on our corporate website.
