SUBSCRIPTION TO THE CEO GUIDE TO HUMAN RIGHTS
Since the publication of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, there has been
a growing concern among business managers to respect Human Rights.
To that effect, and publicly confirming its commitment to promoting the defence of Human Rights and improving people’s living conditions, Mota-Engil subscribes to the CEO Guide to Human Rights of BCSD Portugal (Business Council for Sustainable Development), confirming the Group’s corporate responsibility on
this matter and committing to innovate in practices aimed at improving
the living conditions not only of its employees, but also of the communities impacted by the Group’s activity.
As regulation becomes increasingly demanding and aligned with the expectations of investors and society in general, this Guide identifies important aspects of Human Rights, challenging companies to act accordingly and extend their actions to their value chain.
As CEO of Mota-Engil, Gonçalo Moura Martins joined this international challenge in 2019, becoming a signatory of this document on behalf of the Group, raising the necessary efforts to guarantee Human Rights at the highest level in the different contexts and geographies in which the Group is present, reinforcing the incorporation of respect for Human Rights in Mota-Engil’s operations and business relations.
