Bristow’s Commitment to Human Rights
Bristow Group Inc. and its employees strive to play a positive role in the communities in which we operate. It all starts with respect. We respect each other as colleagues, we respect our business partners and customers, we respect our neighbors, and we respect internationally recognized human rights principles.
Bristow’s operations and policies, which are embedded in our Code of Business Integrity, uphold the principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a general standard of human rights worldwide. We are dedicated to adhering to antislavery and human trafficking initiatives and laws, and we encourage our business partners and suppliers to do the same.
Bristow’s commitment to the protection and advancement of human rights in our global operations stems from our overarching commitment to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner. This means being aware of our actions as they pertain to labor, our environmental impact, and risks of corruption throughout the value chain. We recognize that our accountability extends throughout our operations, and we have influence across our supply chain and business partners.
