Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment in Vietnam

Human Rights

In 2023, as part of a human rights due diligence process, the Company conducted a human rights risk and impact assessment for a renewable power business in Vietnam. The assessment involved a thorough data collection, including interviews with various rights holders, comprising employees, contractors, subcontractors, security guards, and local communities, as well as vulnerable groups, such as women and pregnant women. The findings from the assessment revealed that, with current control measures, most human rights issues posed low to medium risks. However, there were 6 high-impact risks that require focused attention. These areas included working conditions & equal remuneration, labor recruitment, forced labor, occupational health & safety in workplace, violence or harassment, and internal grievance mechanisms.
