Compliance with and promotion of the fundamental ILO conventions
In keeping with their commitment to the Global Compact, CNP Assurances, CNP Assurances Compañia de Seguros, the Caixa Seguradora group and CNP UniCredit Vita ensure that laws and regulations are complied with in each country where they operate.
All of the subsidiaries share the four overriding principles of respect for human rights, freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, long-term support for employees and the promotion of equal opportunity. Each one submits an annual report on their HR performance to CNP Assurances, with a special focus on these four criteria. Measures guaranteeing respect for civil and political rights at CNP Assurances include the Company’s internal code of conduct, the appointment of a liaison officer for dealings with the French data protection agency (CNIL) and agreements on union rights.
Employees are covered by insurance industry collective bargaining agreements (except in Ireland and for senior managers in Argentina). CNP Assurances ensures that employee representatives enjoy the same training and promotion opportunities as other staff members.
Furthermore, compliance with ILO standards is reflected in dealings with suppliers and their own subcontractors (see “Other initiatives” on page 20), the inclusion of CSR criteria in the investment strategy (81% of financial assets of the French entities, 100% of the Brazilian entity, 47% in Italy) and the management of property assets.
The abolition of forced or compulsory labour and effective abolition of child labour
Neither CNP Assurances nor its subsidiaries are directly concerned by forced or child labour. However, the Group pays particularly close attention to this issue in its purchasing policy (see “Priority No. 2: be a responsible purchaser” on page 19).
