While these assessment methodologies include an evaluation of safety, \n health and environmental performance and regulatory compliance, including with applicable \n labor laws, the above-mentioned audits do not include specific human trafficking and slavery \n assessments. \n Certification \n The RC 14001 management system requires, commensurate with risk, the qualification and \n periodic review of our third party partners, including requiring our direct business partners to \n certify to regulatory compliance with a focus on employee safety, health and environmental \n performance. In addition, our standard purchase order terms and conditions require compliance \n with all applicable laws, including language specifically requiring compliance with all applicable \n anti-slavery, human rights, human trafficking and labor laws. We also generally require a \n covenant in any other contract with a supplier that the supplier will act in accordance with all \n applicable law. To the extent that we have not entered into formal contracts with our suppliers, \n we do not believe we conduct business with suppliers that violate our ethics standards but we \n do not require specific certification from those suppliers at this time. \n Internal Accountability \n Koppers and its subsidiaries are committed to conducting business in accordance with our \n Corporate Values. We expect every employee, manager, executive, and director of the \n company to uphold the highest standards of ethics, compliance, and transparency. Our goal is \n to act with honesty and integrity, across our global operations and in all business and \n community dealings. These expectations are set forth in the Koppers Code of Conduct and \n reflected in our sustainability efforts and include our position condemning illegal or unethical \n employment or business practices, including child labor, forced labor, or other forms of slavery \n or human trafficking. \n Koppers Code of Conduct requires employees, managers, executives, and directors of the \n company to obey the law and to assist the company in doing business in full compliance with \n the law, including laws related to forced, compulsory and child labor, and human trafficking in all \n locations where the company operates. In order to help employees understand Koppers fair \n labor requirements, each employee receives mandatory Code of Conduct training on an annual \n basis. We provide all employees with the opportunity and means to raise concerns about \n potential violations of our Code of Conduct or the law by reporting such violations to a \n Compliance Officer or management or through an anonymous phone and email compliance \n line. Violations of the Code of Conduct or the law are not tolerated or condoned, and can be \n grounds for suspension or termination of employment. No one person or department holds the \n responsibility for monitoring compliance with company standards regarding human trafficking or \n slave labor. \n Training \n Every Koppers employee receives annual training on our Code of Conduct and certain relevant \n employees receive annual RC 14001 management system awareness training. We do not have \n a specific training process or programs for managers or employees specifically regarding \n human trafficking and slavery with respect to mitigating risks within our supply chain.","bbox":{"left":0.117647,"top":0.089096,"width":0.761152,"height":0.779132}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
