Equity policy

Establish an equity policy that promotes equal opportunity, fairness, and respect in all business practices. Its scope of application is to all LDH employees, managers, and partners.
Commitment: LDH is committed to treating all employees and partners fairly, without discrimination based on gender, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other factor. Legal Compliance: Comply with all relevant laws and regulations related to equality and non-discrimination.

Requirements Compliance:

• Recruitment and Selection, Fair Procedures: Implement recruitment and selection procedures that ensure equal opportunities for all candidates. Staff Training: Train hiring managers in fairness and non-discrimination practices.
• Development and Evaluation, Professional Development: Provide equitable development and training opportunities for all employees. Fair Evaluation: Ensure that performance appraisals are fair and based on objective criteria.
• Working Conditions, Salaries, and Benefits: Provide a salary and benefits structure that is fair and equitable. Work Environment: Promote an inclusive work environment free from harassment and discrimination.
• Fair Trade: Including fair trade could extend LDH’s commitment beyond employees, extending to relationships with suppliers and customers, ensuring that business transactions are equitable and respectful of human and labor rights throughout the value chain.

Accountability and Oversight
LDH appoints a Corporate Equity Officer to oversee the implementation of this policy. Grievance Mechanisms: Establish procedures for the filing and resolution of equity-related complaints.
This policy should be part of a comprehensive approach that promotes equity in all aspects of LDH and complies with legal standards.
