Respecting Human Rights
The JTB Group Policy articulates out our organization's position on human rights issues.
In alignment with the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the JTB Group's policies on human rights require our organization and its employees to respect and defend the rights of all people. We maintain a Zero Tolerance policy for human rights violations, seek to prevent violations across our supply chain, and take prompt corrective action in the event that any potential violation is brought to our attention. We also strive to raise employee awareness through periodic training and compliance quizzes.
