Working Conditions, Compensation, and Benefits: CARTECHNIC ensures full compliance with applicable laws on wages, working hours, overtime, and benefits. We strive to increase productivity during working hours and avoid excessive overtime, while supporting a work-life balance. Compensation and employment benefits are determined competitively according to sectoral, local labor markets and applicable collective bargaining agreements. We offer opportunities for our employees to develop and advance both professionally and personally.

​

This policy includes:

​

• Diversity: Actively creating a workforce that reflects the communities we serve and values different perspectives, experiences, and ideas.

• Equality: Ensuring that all employees have equal opportunities and access to the resources they need to succeed.

• Inclusion: Fostering a workplace where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered to realize their full potential.

​

• Gender Equality

• Reduced Inequalities

• Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

Our human rights practices are guided by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights across the value chain. Employment decisions are based solely on qualifications and business needs without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or other protected statuses.

Zero Tolerance for Harassment and Violence: CARTECHNIC is committed to maintaining a workplace free from any form of harassment or violence, including sexual harassment. Harassment may be verbal, physical, or non-verbal and is any unwanted behavior that causes a person to feel humiliated, intimidated, or uncomfortable.

We acknowledge that harassment can occur in unequal relationships (e.g., between a supervisor and a subordinate), and we support victims who wish to file a complaint without fear of retaliation or job loss. Stakeholders are free to report violations of this policy through our established reporting channels.

​

Handling Complaints:

Employees are clearly informed that using legal avenues is always an option, and CARTECHNIC is responsible for maintaining a transparent and accessible complaint mechanism.

​

Prohibition of Forced Labor: CARTECHNIC adheres to all laws prohibiting forced labor, exploitation, or slavery. Disciplinary measures involving physical or psychological abuse are not tolerated. We also ensure that our suppliers comply with these principles.

CARTECHNIC is committed to eliminating slavery and human trafficking by complying with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and supporting global efforts to recognize and protect human rights in all countries where we operate.

​

Employee Development: We support the personal and professional development of our employees through innovative training methods and experience-sharing aligned with current and future business needs.
