We require that all employees be treated with fairness, dignity and respect at work. We are committed to preserving human rights by instituting policies that help prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. These values help define our company, and we reinforce them through policies governing our supply chain and employment practices: Drug- and Alcohol-free Workplace policy Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action (EEO/AA) policy Gender Equality Statement Health and Safety Statement Human Rights Statement Notice of Affirmative Action Programs and Notice to Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities Modern Slavery Act Statement Sexual and Other Discriminatory Harassment policy WHAT GUIDES US When determining our approach to respecting human rights, we look to leading international standards, such as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Labor Organization (ILO) Core Conventions and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We are further guided by our participation as a signatory to the UN Global Compact. Informed by these global principles, the BNY Mellon Human Rights Statement demonstrates a commitment to human rights that is embedded in the culture and values that define our company and is reflected in our policies and actions toward our employees, suppliers, clients and the communities and countries where we do business and throughout our value chain.
