Human Rights and Labor Practices

ONE is committed to protecting the labour and human rights of our workforce throughout our operations and supply chain. We recognise modern slavery as a critical issue within our industry and actively adhere to key standards and regulations to ensure fair labour practices that prioritise the wellbeing and engagement of our workforce. This commitment is reflected in our policies, including the Code of Conduct, Global HR, and General Affairs and Human Rights policies. It is further reinforced through regular training and our Employee Handbook. Our fleet adheres to the labour protections outlined in the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and International Safety Management (ISM) Code. The maritime sector benefits from a unified international framework through the MLC, regulated by the IMO, which sets clear standards to prevent child labour, forced labour and unsafe working conditions. Compliance with the MLC is also contractually required under our ship management agreements for all vessels under our management, providing an enforceable mechanism to safeguard seafarer welfare. We maintain transparency by proactively managing risks across our value chain and implementing swift action plans should any violations arise. Beyond compliance, ONE strives to set a higher industry standard, collaborating with partners and suppliers to foster equitable labour practices and inspire the adoption of best practices across the broader supply chain.

Our commitment to human rights is expressed through our Credo and Code of Conduct. We will work to ensure that we do not contribute to human rights violations as a result of our global business activities. As a trusted employer, we will also ensure that all our employees are treated in a manner consistent with the applicable laws and labour conventions.
