Human Rights
Faru Graphite Corporation understands the human rights risks that may arise from business activities and seeks to eliminate and mitigate these risks to the extent practicable. During the ESIA process, the Company has developed a Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) in accordance with United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The HRIA assessed the following factors:
- Child labour
- Community health and safety
- Cultural heritage
- Gender based violence
- Labour and working conditions
- Land conflict
- Living conditions and livelihood
- Security
- Participation
- Worker health and safety
Under each factor, the likelihood and severity were evaluated against the associated human right risks. A Human Rights Heat Map is in place to facilitate risk prioritisation, with management plans and remedy measures developed to mitigate and monitor the identified risks.
A Human Rights Due Diligence Management Plan has been established for continuous monitoring, mitigation and remediation of human rights impacts. Future actions include formalising audits (including human rights) and annual site visits to all international offtake agreement companies. Through these efforts, Faru Graphite Corporation demonstrates its unwavering commitment to respecting and promoting human rights in all aspects of its operations.
