Because looking good means doing good, too.
Absolute Collagen’s Human Rights Policy
OUR COMMITMENT.
We believe that dignity, equality, and safety aren’t extras - they’re essentials.
At Absolute Collagen, we’re committed to respecting the human rights of everyone we work with, across everything we do - from our team and partners, to every person and community we touch. If rights are at risk, we take action.
Upkeeping global standards is just part of our day-to-day, and we’re fully aligned with The UN Guiding Principles, the International Bill of Human Rights, and the ILO’s Fundamental Principles (to name a few).
WHAT WE STAND FOR.
- Respect for Human Rights - We take a zero-tolerance stance on abuse, and a full-hearted one on fairness.
- Identifying & Assessing Risks - We proactively look at where risks could arise and act before harm’s done.
- Taking Action & Providing Remedy - If we ever fall short, we put it right. Fast. That means corrective action, remedy, and real prevention.
- Fair Labour Practices - We absolutely stand for equal opportunities, fair pay, and decent working conditions - always.
- Equal Treatment & Non-Discrimination - We protect the right to speak up without fear - and to be respected for who you are.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
Our due diligence approach? We don't just talk about doing the right thing. We build it into how we work every day, through these 5 simple steps…
- Risk Identification: From ingredients to logistics, we assess for risks.
- Assessment & Prioritisation: We focus where harm could be most severe - and most likely.
- Prevention & Mitigation: We take proactive steps in training, auditing, and even changing suppliers if needed.
- Monitoring: We keep a close watch on performance and compliance.
- Remedy & Learning: If we ever cause or contribute to harm, we act fast to fix it - and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
WHO’S THE POLICY FOR?
To us, people and consistency matters. So, this policy applies to everyone we work with (and beyond):
- Our team
- Our suppliers and partners
- Our wider community
RAISING CONCERNS.
See something? Say something. We want people to speak up if something’s not right - safely, confidentially, and without fear. Concerns can be raised via:
- Line managers (or other reporting channels)
- The HR Team
- The Quality & Sustainability Team
THE POLICY POLICE.
Doing the right thing isn’t a one-off and we’re BIG on accountability. Our policy’s signed off by the Absolute Collagen Executive Team and reviewed annually to keep it relevant, compliant and continuously improving.
