Last Updated: June 7, 2023

Human Rights

Inolex is a participant in the UN Global Compact and is in full support of the Ten Principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work; and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Inolex is committed to supporting human rights not only within Inolex, but also in connection with all its business activities.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)

Inolex believes in hiring fairly, compensating fairly, providing equal opportunities, retaining diverse talent, and creating/maintaining an inclusive culture. Inolex is focused on aspects of DE&I that ensure equity of policies and procedures, foster diversity within the workforce, and champion inclusivity in Inolex’s corporate culture.

Community Engagement

A company's size and influence can help in tackling important issues within local communities through community engagement endeavors. We proactively work with our local communities and municipalities through outreach, open dialogue, and invest our resources through volunteering to improve lives and strengthen the communities in which we live and work.

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent

Inolex indirectly sources from agricultural and farming industries that use land to grow products. We fully support the rights of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) as outlined in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People. Indigenous peoples have a right to withhold or give consent to any project that may affect them or their territories. Consent must be given voluntarily without coercion, must be sufficiently in advance of project activities, and information should be provided prior to the project and consistently throughout the project. Any supplier or indirect supplier to Inolex is expected to support FPIC throughout their supply chains.

NDPE (No Exploitation)

Inolex indirectly sources from agricultural and farming industries that use land to grow products. We are committed to the principles of No Deforestation, No Peat, and No Exploitation (NDPE). Our direct and indirect suppliers throughout the supply chain are required to respect and support the rights of workers, indigenous peoples, and other local communities, as outlined in our Human Rights Policy and FPIC statement. See ‘Environmental’ Policies and Statements for more information on deforestation and peatland.
