Talent is the basis of our ability to innovate and is a lynchpin of our sustainability. Our policies for attracting and retaining employees and for developing their talent are vital.

We have employees in countries where workers' rights are not enshrined by law. The highly-qualified nature of our professionals means that the risk of violation of their human rights is low; moreover the company has in place policies for minimising this possibility.
