HUMAN RIGHTS
Since 2021 CMPC has had a company-wide Human Rights Policy for all of its businesses and subsidiaries. It establishes foundational definitions, areas of application and specific mechanisms that help identify, manage and remedy the violation of human rights (HR) under a preventive approach.
Human Rights Due Diligence
In 2023 CMPC hired an expert consultancy firm to identify the main focuses of attention regarding human rights risks, defining an action plan and its governance for the implementation of the due diligence process. After reviewing good practices on human rights at corporate level, the scope of the evaluation was defined, which will be for forestry operations in Chile. The human rights-related topics included in the evaluation were also defined, such as health and safety, working conditions, discrimination and indigenous rights, among others. This process seeks to identify these risks for different groups, including the Company’s own workers, contractors and people belonging to indigenous groups.
In the last quarter of 2024, the company began a Human Rights due diligence process, advised by the Corporate Sustainability Program of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. This process is led by a working group composed of the Sustainability, Risk and Compliance, Public Affairs, Procurement, and Environmental, Occupational Health and Safety departments.
This due diligence process applies to its own operations (its own employees) and to the value chain (contractors). The Human Rights assessed in the process include Occupational Health and Safety, Environment and Community Quality of Life, Child Labor, Forced Labor, Freedom of Association, Freedom of Collective Bargaining, and Discrimination. The at-risk groups included in the assessment are its own employees, contractors, and local communities.
