How does ING apply international labour rights standards?
The ING Business Principles state that we support the aims of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and socially responsible investors asked us to explain our position with regards to the labour rights for our employees. In response, we drafted and implemented the ING Human Rights Statement. Based on the International Labour Organisation Core Conventions, this statement describes labour rights standards regarding non-discrimination, health and safety, child labour, forced labour and the freedom of association for our employees worldwide.
