Treating all persons with respect
Unisys aims to act as a responsible employer globally, acting fairly in its labor and employment activities, and to conduct business in an ethical and sustainable way for its stakeholders including employees, customers, partners, and across the supply chain.
Labor and Human Rights
In line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Unisys Corporation, including all of its worldwide subsidiaries (“Unisys”) bases its human rights policy commitment on the International Bill of Rights and the International Labor Organisation’s Declaration on the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. This commitment is strengthened through the Unisys Global Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Business Partner Code of Business Conduct, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Position Statement and Supplier Diversity Program, validated by the Unisys Board of Directors which encapsulate Unisys’ internal policies, practices and procedures, coupled with periodic training of all associates.
Therefore, Unisys prohibits the use of any and all forms of child, forced or involuntary labor (as further described in our Modern Slavery Statement (below)): all employment must, in accordance with local law, be freely chosen and comply with applicable employment laws which include appropriate wage, reasonable work hours, compensation, overtime, benefits, paid holidays. Unisys further recognizes the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining for all associates.
Through Unisys’ internal programs and via associate representatives in certain jurisdictions, Unisys aims to achieve open communications with associates globally across various channels. In the event that concerns are identified or made aware to Unisys, these will be investigated and addressed. Where necessary, corrective action will be taken.
