Labour

The Quantum Group is dedicated to implementing the Global Compact and encouraging other private sector actors to do same. We are committed to working against all forms of abuse against labour rights and decent work. We undertake to implement sufficient reporting mechanisms to ensure that whistleblowers can effectively report on suspected and credible instances of abusive activities within the company and amongst external stakeholders.  

We abide by all domestic legislation concerning the promotion of labour rights and decent work, respect for workers, non-discriminatory practices and established international best practices governing this area insofar as possible. The Quantum Group acknowledges the United Nations’ fight against child labour and the strengthening of labour standards and implementing the Global Compact Labour Principles within our operations (Principles 3, 4, 5 and 6): 

1. Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; 

1. The elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; 

1. The effective abolition of child labour; and 

1. The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. 

We recognise the importance of providing safeguards to employees to encourage a zero-tolerance approach to discriminatory activities and hold United Nations guidelines on this thematic area insofar as practicable for a company of our size.
