FOCUS ON LOCAL AND PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT

HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLIANCE

Royal Selangor is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate by prioritising the recruitment and development of local talent. By building a workforce that reflects our surrounding communities, we contribute to regional economic growth and maintain cultural continuity within the organisation. We also invest in training and upskilling programmes to help local employees grow and support long-term business needs. We further emphasise permanent employment to strengthen job stability, workforce continuity, and organisational knowledge. A predominantly permanent workforce allows us to maintain consistent quality and provide employees with clear career pathways and comprehensive benefits. This combined focus on local and long-term employment helps foster a resilient and motivated workforce essential to our sustained success.

Royal Selangor is committed to respecting, protecting, and upholding internationally recognised human rights across all its operations and business relationships. Our Human Rights Policy, formally circulated on 1 August 2024, outlines our commitment to fair treatment, non discrimination, safety, and the protection of fundamental freedoms. The policy is incorporated into the employee onboarding programme to ensure that all new hires understand our expectations from the outset. We continue to review our practices to ensure alignment with international human rights frameworks and evolving best practices.

ETHICAL GOVERNANCE AND WORKFORCE SUSTAINABILITY

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Royal Selangor is committed to building a responsible, transparent, and people-centred organisation. Our approach integrates strong ethical governance with policies that protect employee welfare, uphold human rights, and promote diversity and inclusion. We strive to ensure fair labour practices, offer decent living wages, and prioritise both local and permanent employment to support long term workforce stability. Through open communication, stakeholder engagement, and robust accountability measures, we continue to foster a culture grounded in integrity, respect, and sustainability.

As part of our broader ESG focus, Royal Selangor recognises that diversity and inclusion are essential drivers of innovation, employee engagement, and long-term business sustainability. Our Diversity & Inclusion Policy, introduced in August 2024, aims to foster a workplace culture that values differences, promotes equal opportunity, and enhances well-being. The policy emphasises respect for human dignity and encourages a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals of all backgrounds. It is highlighted during onboarding and reinforced throughout the employee lifecycle. By embracing diversity, we strengthen collaboration, creativity, and our organisation’s resilience.
