Introduction – Commitment to Human Rights

AMA Hospitality has a strong commitment to its values of community, accountability, respect and excellence. In accordance with these values, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, AMA Hospitality is committed to respecting and promoting human rights consistent with the International Bill of Rights (including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) and in the eight fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organisation1.

AMA Hospitality operates wholly within Australia, a country with a long history of democratic government, judicial independence and high standards of governance, with legislative regimes relating to human rights including labour standards, privacy and non- discrimination.

AMA Hospitality respects and promotes human rights through our corporate policies, programs and initiatives, project and asset guidelines and toolkits, and broader governance and stakeholder management methods.

AMA Hospitality does not tolerate behaviour that is in breach of the law or our corporate policies.

Our corporate values (community, accountability, respect and excellence) and our Code of Conduct set the behaviour and conduct expected of all AMA Hospitality directors and employees.

We are committed to responsible procurement and sustainable supply chain management. We endeavour that our suppliers operate in a manner which is consistent with our values and standards by considering social, environmental and human rights- related factors in our procurement decisions. Our expectation is that our Suppliers comply with Australian state and federal legislation (including labour laws, environmental regulations and workplace health and safety standards). Our procurement guidelines give preference to Suppliers who demonstrate corporate responsibility and sustainability policies and practices which align with AMA Hospitality’s corporate values, objectives and standards.

Our commitment to our customers and communities is reflected in the products we offer and in the way we engage, value and respect our diverse range of customers. We regularly engage with our customers and communities to understand and respond to their changing needs. Our communities are also empowered and encouraged to engage with and assume ownership of development programs and initiatives.

We acknowledge that human rights risks and impacts relate not only to our business activities, but also to the relationships with our business partners. We monitor and encourage the respect of human rights in our dealings with key business partners, including government, through adherence to key corporate policies and stakeholder management methods.
