Introduction

Logicore reaffirms its dedication to upholding human rights through the release of our Human Rights Policy. Recognising the effort and resources required to fulfil the commitments outlined in this policy, we have established a robust governance framework to ensure its implementation.

Our Commitment

Logicore is dedicated to respecting human rights across our operations and supply chains, setting high standards that align with global best practices. This commitment reflects our core values of integrity, fairness, and a strong ethical culture where everyone takes responsibility for doing what’s right.

Respecting human rights is central to Logicore’s mission of delivering long-term, sustainable value for clients, partners, and society. As a professional services and recruitment firm, we acknowledge our influence on the human rights of various stakeholders, including candidates, clients, suppliers, and the communities we serve.

We are committed to engaging collaboratively with our stakeholders to identify and mitigate potential negative impacts while enhancing positive outcomes.

Our Approach

Our policy aligns with internationally recognised human rights principles, including:

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
The 11 fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on

Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

We also draw upon other international human rights laws, voluntary principles, and guidelines as necessary to address specific contexts and to safeguard vulnerable populations or other rights- holders.

Where national laws conflict with international human rights standards, we are committed to adhering to the higher standard, respecting international human rights to the fullest extent possible.

Logicore’s Human Rights Policy is guided by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, implemented through comprehensive human rights due diligence processes. Our focus is on addressing the human rights most relevant to our recruitment operations and supply chain, based on ongoing assessments and stakeholder feedback.

We are committed to fostering a culture that respects and upholds human rights while mitigating negative impacts and enhancing positive outcomes. Retaliation against human rights defenders is strictly prohibited.
