Exellyn does not tolerate child labour, any forms of forced or compulsory labour, slavery and human trafficking within our own operations and our value chain.

All work must be performed on a voluntary basis, and workers must be free to terminate their employment with reasonable and legally defined notice.

In our Occupational health & safety plan we outline practicalities to keep the working environment safe. We abide by all applicable health and safety regulations in our office locations. We continuously work towards reducing any risks of illness and avoiding any workplace accidents.

We expect our suppliers and partners to provide safe, clean and healthy workplace that complies with all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations, and to provide appropriate health and safety training and implement emergency preparedness measures relevant to their operations. They are also expected to implement appropriate measures to prevent accidents and injuries during work, and to address potential risks in the workplace. We seek to work with suppliers and partners that share our commitment to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of workers.

We are committed to managing working hours for all employees and contractors responsibly and respecting all relevant legislation on working hours and time-off. All our employees are entitled to sufficient rest time and paid vacation. Our Employment policy outlines the accepted hours of work, overtime conditions, sick leave, vacation, time-off as well as physical and mental health.
