Human Rights Policy Statement of COMY

1.Commitment Statement

Purpose:

We are dedicated to reducing plastic pollution through technological innovation,while ensuring respect and protection of human rights across all operational stages(collection,processing,reuse),and adherence to international labor standards and environmental regulations.

International Frameworks:

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights(UNGPs)

Core Conventions of the International Labour Organization(ILO)(e.g.,prohibition of forced labor,child labor)

OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs 3,8,12)

2.Scope of Application

Applies to the company’s own operations,supply chain(including waste plastic collectors and partners),and communities affected by its projects.

3.Core Human Rights Principles

3.1 Labor Rights Protection

Health and Safety:

Provide workers with chemical protective gear,regularly monitor air quality in processing plants,and ban work environments with hazardous substance exposure exceeding safe limits.

Equality and Anti-Discrimination:

Ensure equality regardless of gender,race,or religion;eliminate bias in recruitment and promotion.

Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining:Support workers in forming trade unions and participating in decisions to improve safety and working conditions.

Prohibition of Forced Labor and Child Labor:

Rigorously audit the supply chain to eradicate child labor and debt bondage in informal collection networks.

3.2 Community Health and Environmental Protection

Pollution Control:

Adopt low-emission technologies,disclose waste treatment data,and avoid endangering the health of nearby residents.

Community Engagement:

Establish transparent information mechanisms;regularly inform residents of environmental risks and emergency responses.

Indigenous Rights:

Respect indigenous land rights and cultural traditions in project siting and operations;conduct prior consultations.

3.3 Supply Chain Responsibility

Traceability Management:

Partner with formal waste collectors to ensure their workers receive fair wages and social security.

Training Support:

Provide occupational safety training to informal collectors,gradually integrating them into compliant systems.

4.Implementation Mechanisms

Risk Assessment:

Conduct annual human rights impact assessments,focusing on chemical exposure risks and community protests.

Grievance Channels:

Establish an anonymous hotline for employees and communities to report human rights violations.

Third-Party Audits:

Engage independent bodies to audit supply chain labor conditions and environmental compliance.

Transparency:

Publicly release annual human rights progress reports,disclosing incident responses and improvement measures.

5.Industry-Specific Considerations

Technical Safety:

Invest in R&D for safer chemical degradation processes to reduce worker risks from high-temperature,high-pressure operations.

Circular Economy Inclusivity:

Promote"just transitions"in developing countries to support waste collectors’shift to formal employment.

6.Continuous Improvement Goals

Achieve"zero occupational diseases"among processing plant workers by 2025;

Ensure 90%of supply chain waste plastic sources meet human rights standards by 2030;

Regularly collaborate with NGOs and industry associations to revise policies,addressing emerging challenges(e.g., microplastic pollution’s impact on human health).

Genuine sustainability hinges not only on ecology but on the dignity and rights of every participant—from factory workers to remote collectors.Through institutional safeguards and tangible actions, the waste plastic chemical recycling industry can exemplify progress in environmental justice and human rights.
