In 2022, Asia Cement initiated a process of human rights due diligence, making it a cornerstone of their strategy for sustainable management. The scope of investigation includes Asia Cement's own operations (including subsidiaries), suppliers, community residents, and customers.
The human rights due diligence regularly reviews the status of human rights management by following the principles set forth in international human rights and laws and regulations. Due diligence is conducted at least once every three years to discover major human rights issues, review management performance on human rights issues, formulate improvement plans and remedial and preventive measures, and publicly disclose due diligence reports.
Asia Cement conducts due diligence in accordance with the procedures specified in “OECD Due Diligence Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct”.
Human Rights Risk Assessment
Asia Cement devises questionnaire questions for each stakeholder category, and conducts risk identification of various related issues. The company evaluate the high-risk issues for each stakeholder based on the possibility of human rights issues and the severity of the issues.
