Human rights
Atlas Copco's Business Code of Practice supports fundamental human rights and respects those rights in the Group's operations throughout the world.
Atlas Copco does not accept any forms of child or forced labor, actively discourages discrimination, and encourages equality and diversity. The Group recognizes that employees have the right to decide whether to be organized or not in all of its operations. Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining and agreements shall be respected in all Atlas Copco Group operations. These basic principles are also promoted to business partners around the world.
Human rights abuse exists on markets where Atlas Copco operates, for example in Asia and Africa. In order to identify areas where there are risks related to human rights abuses, Atlas Copco takes advice and receives training from Amnesty Business Group.
