Human and Labor Rights

FPS’s Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy promotes a workplace built on dignity, respect, and equality.

Policy

Respect for human rights is fundamental to FPS and the communities and countries in which we operate. Our approach is grounded in dignity, respect, and fairness for all individuals, and is guided by our Human Rights Policy, Code of Conduct, Equal Employment Opportunity Policy, and Child Labor Policy.

Our Anti-Harassment and Anti-Discrimination Policy promotes a workplace built on dignity, respect, and equality.

The policy strictly prohibits all forms of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, in line with applicable laws.

A confidential and structured procedure is in place for reporting and investigating any violations, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.

Actions and Initiatives

We strictly prohibit any form of forced labor, child labor, or human trafficking. Employment at FPS is based on voluntary engagement, and no individual is employed under coercive or exploitative conditions. All candidates are engaged through a fair and transparent recruitment process that evaluates merit, role alignment, and cultural fit. Background checks and age verifications are conducted in accordance with local laws and internal policies, and all personal data is handled responsibly and deleted once the process concludes.

Our onboarding practices ensure that all new hires receive clear information about their rights, responsibilities, and available grievance mechanisms from their first day. We provide regular training to all colleagues to maintain awareness of human rights, ethical business conduct, and workplace safety.

We also respect our colleagues’ right to join or form a labor union without retaliation, intimidation, or harassment. Where colleagues are represented by a legally recognized union, we are committed to building a constructive and respectful relationship with that union. During the reporting period, 64% of all FPS colleagues were covered by a collective bargaining agreement. For colleagues not covered by such agreements, we provide employment contracts and social benefits in line with regional market standards and industry best practices.

FPS promotes equal opportunity, inclusive hiring, and a non-discriminatory workplace environment. We actively encourage diversity and prohibit any form of harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, age, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. Freedom of expression and the right to raise concerns are protected through our confidential grievance mechanisms, including the FPS Ethics Hotline, which is available 24/7 and managed by an independent third party. These channels ensure that all concerns are reviewed promptly, confidentially, and without fear of retaliation.

Through these integrated policies and practices, FPS fosters a respectful, fair, and rights-based workplace culture that supports the wellbeing and empowerment of all its colleagues.

In alignment with its commitment to integrity and inclusion, FPS takes the following steps to prevent harassment and foster a positive workplace culture:
