Human rights

Human rights is a broad subject that is relevant to GSK in a number of different contexts. In this section we discuss human rights for GSK employees and human rights issues in our supply chain.

Our direct employees are generally highly educated and skilled people for whom we are striving to make our company an attractive employer. Generally our employment standards on issues such as diversity and equal opportunities provide adequate safeguards on human rights.

Our supply chain is complex, diverse and global. We recognise it is possible that our suppliers in some countries do not fully respect the human rights of their workers or those in their community. Within our sphere of influence, we have begun work to ensure that our suppliers observe similar standards to ours in their relations with employees and communities.
