t CMI Capital we have a strict policy of not recruiting minors, as we believe that we have a responsibility to protect and care for the safety and physical integrity of children and adolescents. The profiles of our jobs demand years of experience and willingness to work in particular working days.
Policy to support the eradication of child labor CMI Capital is committed to complying with existing national and international laws that tend to eradicate child labor, consistent with ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labor and ILO Convention 138 on the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment. In addition, our corporation invites its customers and suppliers to follow these good practices.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2019
On this, we report that we do not have any minors employed in any of our operations. It has been established that if applications from minors are received, they are rejected because at the time of hiring, the Human Resources area requests and reviews all the documents that show and support the applicants’ age of majority . Because of the type of work we do and the controls we implement, there is no risk of having child labor in our operations. We make sure our suppliers and strategic partners know our Code of Ethics and our REIR values. However, we will continue to analyze the criteria for a social assessment in order to prevent them from being at risk of hiring child labor. In this sense, our contracts include the following clause: ¨The contractor opposes child and forced labor, so the contractor shall not employ persons who are minors for the execution of the contracted work, and the contractor shall undertake to comply with the provisions of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Guatemala, International Labor Organization Labor Code and Standards ILO, as well as any other law, regulation, decree or resolution issued by the competent authorities.¨
