15 DSV Code of Conduct WORKING HOURS AND REMUNERATION Working hours and rest periods in between work must be within the local legal limit or the limits stated in DSV’s Human Rights Policy, whichever is lower. The remuneration of DSV employees should meet or exceed statutory or agreed national industry minimum standards and should not fall below the living wage in the country. DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT You must recognise and support equal human rights and adopt a stance against discrimination, differential treatment, harassment, inappropriate or unreasonable interference with work performance, whether based on nationality, race, disability, or gender, including gender identity or gender expression, sexual, religious, or political orientation or ethnic or social background. Physical, sexual, mental, or verbal abuse is prohibited, as is any threat of abuse or any other form of intimidation. All DSV managers are accountable for creating and maintaining a healthy and safe work environment for our employees and our third parties, which includes safe systems of work. Safety must be ensured through appropriate instructions, which must be observed. Managers must establish an understanding of essential safety measures within their area of responsibility and initiate improvements when necessary. Although DSV and its managers have the primary responsibility, all DSV employees are responsible for their own health and safety when performing their work and must therefore comply with all safety regulations and processes as well as exercise proper care to prevent accidents. DSV prohibits the consumption or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at work. All workplace incidents must be reported promptly and recorded by the DSV country management to learn and facilitate continuous improvements. In case of serious injuries and life changing events Group Sustainability & Compliance must be notified immediately. SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS Safeguarding the well-being and supporting the actions of DSV’s employees are essential to the success and future of DSV. All DSV companies must provide a physically and psychologically safe and healthy workplace by creating appropriate work conditions that meet all relevant legal requirements, creating job satisfaction and preventing illness, absence and injury related to unsafe work practices and risks. No employees are expected to put themselves or any other person(s) at risk during a DSV activity. It is the responsibility of all workforces to stop work when an unsafe condition or act arises.
