Human rights management, own operations

Kyoto is committed to respecting and promoting human rights of all individuals potentially affected by our operations. We respect the fundamental principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related UN documents.

• Working conditions, equal opportunities and respect
  
  

Diversity and inclusive workplace

We bring together employees with a rich variety of backgrounds, skills, genders and cultures. We appreciate and recognize that all people are unique and valuable and must be respected for their individual abilities and views.

Treating each other with respect

It is everyone’s responsibility to contribute to a supportive work environment, based on mutual trust, transparency and respect.

Harassment-free workplace

Kyoto does not tolerate any form of harassment or bullying in the workplace. We all have the right to work in an environment that is free from intimidation and harassment and where we can feel safe and comfortable.

Promoting equal opportunity

Kyoto is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and treating all employees fairly and with respect. Kyoto’s employees and business units shall only use merit, qualifications and other professional criteria as a basis for employee-related decisions, such as recruitment, training, compensation and promotion. 

Human rights management, supply chain & business partners

Kyoto’s core business is to design, install and operate Heatcubes. Manufacturing of our core components are sourced to partners which are also managing the installation on site. Kyoto has therefore developed routines for how to evaluate and monitor actual or potential adverse impact on human rights and decent working conditions in relations to suppliers and partners, for the monitoring of current relationships and contracts. Kyoto is also conducting due diligence of business partners and of its suppliers, the latter pursuant to a risk-based approach.

Reducing risks of negative impact, due diligence

Kyoto is committed to transparency and accuracy in all the company’s dealings, while respecting confidentiality and other applicable obligations.

To further strengthen Kyoto’s efforts to safeguard human right and decent working conditions, Kyoto plans the following activities in 2023/2024:

• Keep strengthening our governing framework further streamline and implement started initiatives.
• Develop and implement newly identified required policies for human rights and people.  
• Further develop processes and practices for identifying and assessing risks of adverse impacts on human rights and decent working conditions.
• Improve the training program offered to our employees.
• Monitor the implementation of the company’s due diligence procedures.
