Hyve recognizes that responsibility for human rights begins in our own operations. As a Tier 1 manufacturer, we focus on protecting workers, upholding fair labor practices, and maintaining systems that support dignity, safety, and ethical treatment across facilities. 

‍

Our approach to human rights in operations includes: 

‍

• Alignment with the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct for working hours, wages and benefits, freely chosen employment, non-discrimination, and humane treatment.
• Policies and governance structures that set expectations for labor practices and worker protections in Hyve facilities. 
• Grievance mechanisms and escalation processes that enable workers to raise concerns without retaliation.
• Integration of human rights considerations into operational oversight and continuous improvement processes. 

‍

This foundation informs how we will engage suppliers and manage human rights risks beyond our direct operations. 

We are developing a risk-based due diligence approach to identify, assess, and manage human rights and labor risks across our supply chain. 

‍

• Risk-based due diligence based on geography, labor practices, and operational context.
• Clear supplier expectations through Supplier Code, Human Rights Policy, Modern Slavery Statement, and Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy.
• Assessment and monitoring through audits, reviews, and engagement Corrective action and follow-up focused on remediation and continuous improvement.
• Ongoing collaboration informing future assessments and program improvements.

Our human rights and supply chain program operates through a structured, risk-based approach with clear ownership and oversight. Our due diligence process is iterative and designed to evolve as risks, geographies, and operations change.

‍

The Social Responsibility team oversees audits, risk assessment, due diligence activities, and follow-up, working with site teams, EHS, Human Resources (HR), supply chain partners, and corporate stakeholders. Findings inform corrective actions, monitoring, and continuous improvement across our operations and the developing supply chain program.

‍

Our approach to human rights and responsible sourcing is aligned with recognized international standards and frameworks. These provide the foundation for our policies, due diligence processes, and continuous improvement efforts.

‍

Key frameworks include the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct, the RBA Validated Assessment Program, and OECD due diligence guidelines. Alignment with these standards supports consistency, credibility, and transparency in how we identify, assess, and manage human rights and labor risks.
