Human Rights Policy

Respecting and promoting human rights

In 2021, the Group unveiled its Human Rights Policy. This policy outlines the Group’s commitment to combat forced labor, combat child labor, uphold the freedom of association, promote fair employment conditions and ensure equal opportunity.

It is in line with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, to which Mersen has been a signatory since 2009.

Throughout the world, the Group ensures that each employee performs his or her job on the basis of agreed upon terms and conditions of employment and receives a fair wage according to the number of hours worked. Freedom of association is guaranteed at all sites. The age of the employee is checked by a local team as part of the fight against child labor. An analysis of the human resources database is performed annually to make sure that employees under 18 have special employment contracts related to a specific course of study, such as apprenticeship contracts.

Diversity

Collaboration based on diversity

We firmly believe that promoting diversity will have a profound and positive impact on our organizations and business.

Diversity is a key asset for Mersen, driving collaboration between teams and sparking creativity so that we can better understand the needs of our customers around the world.

To preserve this diversity, our company culture seeks to inspire mutual respect and the appreciation of every individual, whatever their origin, and to combat all forms of discrimination.

Continuous skills development

Mersen operates in complex, high-tech sectors and owes much of its success to the expertise of its teams and skills of its employees.

The continuous skills development is at the heart of the human resources policy, as the Group seeks to retain its talents and attract new ones.

Mersen pledges to provide the best possible work environment for the well-being, health and safety of all its employees.

Its strategy is underpinned by the commitment of our managers to deploying a preventive approach at their sites based on the following principles:

  • Ensuring employees are aware of the risks and hazards they may face and carrying out risk and hazard assessments on a regular basis and each time there is a change in working organization,
  • Providing regular training to employees on health and safety and collective and personal protective measures,
  • Ensuring that both managerial and non-managerial employees report on and analyze any incidents.
