Human rights

Recognizing and respecting human rights is a fundamental principle for Fibra Danhos, guiding our operations and our interaction with all stakeholders. We are convinced that the sustainable value of our business depends largely on creating an inclusive and safe work environment where each person is valued and treated with dignity and respect. Therefore, we have established policies and procedures that promote equal opportunity, non-discrimination and freedom of expression, as well as an environment that fosters the professional growth and well-being of our employees.

We are aware that our commitment to human rights is not limited to our workforce, but must include suppliers, contractors, tenants, visitors, communities, and any other actors related to our activities. In 2023, we identified 11 priority human rights risks*, based on which we began to develop an action plan to address and mitigate the potential human rights impacts identified in the analysis. Most of the violations we identified were found directly in our value chain, and here Fibra Danhos assumes its responsibility to promote respect for human rights in this important stakeholder group in order to avoid potential reputational consequences.

Therefore, the cross-cutting programs we have begun to develop to mitigate these risks focus primarily on our value chain. They range from ongoing training and awareness-raising to more rigorous ESG assessments of our suppliers.

Through these actions, we seek to ensure that our value chain shares our commitment to respect human rights and contributes to strengthening our own ethical and sustainable practices. Based on the 2023 human rights analysis and our commitment to the value chain, we share infographics with our critical suppliers on the relationship between companies and human rights and how to prevent potential violations.

Prevention and remediation of human rights impacts

Respect for and protection of human rights are non-negotiable pillars of our operations and value chain. To achieve this, we proactively identify and assess the risks of violations, establishing internal protocols that ensure both the mitigation of such risks and the remediation of their potential impacts. This approach includes due diligence processes to detect and address risk situations, as well as effective reporting and redress mechanisms in the event of non-compliance. In doing so, we guarantee the dignity of every person involved in our activities and reinforce our commitment to creating fair, respectful, and inclusive environments.

To address and mitigate identified human rights risks, in 2024 we began developing cross-cutting programs and initiatives in partnership with a specialized consulting firm. As a first step, we designed training and infographics for employees, suppliers, and tenants, focusing on priority issues for each stakeholder group. The topics covered included human rights due diligence, prevention of discrimination and violence, and respect for the environment. This material will be incorporated into our annual employee training plan, ensuring ongoing training that is aligned with our human rights commitments.

Likewise, to create alliances that allow us to positively impact the protection of children, we carried out activities in partnership with UNICEF to raise awareness about children's rights.

The above actions are our initial response to the risks identified, although we know that this is an ongoing commitment to improvement. In 2025, we will work on a comprehensive approach that will include due diligence practices and enable us to ensure that our operations will serve as a frontline in preventing human rights violations throughout our value chain.
