Human Rights Policy

Nordjysk Projektledelse ApS respects internationally recognized human rights. As an external project manager, we run projects responsibly, with a focus on dignity, equal treatment, working environment, data protection and transparency—both within ourselves, with our customers and among our partners. Our approach follows the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP)

1. Purpose and scope

This policy is ours public commitments on respecting human rights and provides the framework for how we prevent, manage and mitigate any negative impacts in our own operations and in the projects we manage for clients. The policy applies to all employees, affiliated consultants, suppliers and business partners. It is publicly available and communicated to relevant stakeholders, as recommended in the UNGP.

2. Principles and standards

Our work is rooted in:

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP)
OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct
ILO core conventions and labor rights
UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

3. Governance and responsibility

This policy has been approved by the company's management. HR is responsible for implementation, follow-up and annual review. The policy is updated at least once a year or upon significant changes in legislation and practice, in line with the recommendations on management embedding and continuous improvement in the UNGP guidelines.

4. Our commitments

We commit to:

Avoid causing or contributing to negative impacts of human rights through our own activities and to remedy them if they arise.
Prevent or mitigate impacts associated with our business relationships (customers, suppliers, partners).
Occupational health and safety: ensure a safe, healthy and inclusive working environment—and engage in dialogue with customers if the project framework is not sound. (UNGP emphasizes the responsibility of companies across relationships.)
Non-discrimination, dignified treatment and equality across gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, etc., in line with international standards.
Zero tolerance for forced and child labor throughout our value chain.
Data ethics and privacy: process personal data responsibly and in accordance with GDPR – see our Privacy Policy for details.

5. Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD)

We use a risk-based due diligence process in line with the UNGP, which includes:

Identification and assessment of current and potential risks (project, industry, geography, roles in the value chain).
Prevention and mitigation through requirements, training and responsible project planning.
Follow-up and measurement of efficiency.
Communication with relevant stakeholders on important initiatives.
Remedy if we have caused or contributed to negative impacts.
These steps reflect the UNGP framework for the responsibility of businesses to respect human rights.

Special focus areas for external project management

Project tips and workload/working hours (responsible planning).
Third-party work environment when projects are carried out at the customer's premises—with the right to stop work in case of dangerous conditions.
Digital privacy and confidentiality (access to systems and data → least possible rights, “need-to-know”).
Freelancers/subcontractors (clear agreements, timely payment, no unreasonable terms).

These priorities follow a risk-based approach recommended in the UNGP/OHCHR guidelines.

6. Customers and projects

As an external project partner, we expect customers to:

Comply with applicable legislation and respect human rights in projects we lead.
Provides access to relevant information to enable responsible risk management.
Participating in dialogue and action plans by identified risks.

We can incorporate relevant human rights requirements into agreements (e.g. clauses on improvement plans and the possibility of pause/termination in case of significant breaches), in line with the UNGP's expectation of governance through business relationships.

7. Suppliers and partners

Suppliers and partners must, as a minimum, comply with this policy or equivalent standards.

8. Complaints channels and redress (grievance)

All employees, consultants, suppliers and other stakeholders can raise concerns in good faith via our:

E-mail: Hr@nordjyskprojektledelse.dk

We protect against retaliation and offers or collaborates on remedy, if we have caused or contributed to an adverse impact. Operational grievance mechanisms and redress are central elements of the UNGP

9. Measurement and reporting

We follow simple indicators (e.g. number of complaints received, training completed, supplier screenings and improvement plans implemented) and uses the results to continuous improvement. Transparency about progress is in line with UNGP expectations to track efficiency and communicate with stakeholders

10. Transparency, language and review

The policy is published on our website (DK, EN), is known internally and with key partners, and reviewed annually or as needed. UNGP recommends that companies make their policy publicly available and embed it in management.
