Human Rights and Fair Labor Practices
We are committed to protecting and upholding human rights and fair labor practices both within our own operations and across our value chain.
PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS WITHIN OUR OWN OPERATIONS
IDEX’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Human Rights Policy reflect our commitment to acting ethically and to treating others in a fair and respectful manner. Our Human Rights Policy applies to all employees and business partners around the world and is informed by the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We require our employees and business partners to report any concerns to the ethics hotline.
IDEX policies establish equal opportunities for all employees, workers, and applicants and prohibit discrimination, harassment, and retaliation of any kind. We explicitly protect against discrimination, harassment, and any form of differential treatment based on any legally protected characteristic.
We conduct annual global harassment training for all employees as well as targeted respectful workplace and fair employment practices training for leaders.
We also respect our employees’ rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining. Through open dialogue with employees and their representatives, we maintain constructive relationships that promote mutual respect in the workplace. Our policies encourage an open-door philosophy, fostering a culture of transparency, collaboration, and respect.
PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS WITHIN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Our commitment to human rights and fair labor practices extends to our supply chain partners, as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy. We are enhancing our engagement with suppliers to support global efforts to support human rights and eliminate forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. Employees in specific supply chain and procurement roles receive specialized training on how to look for warning signs.
IDEX complies with modern slavery and human trafficking laws, and our policies detail our efforts to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our supply chain. For more information, see our policies found in the Sustainability Reporting section and on our corporate sustainability website.
