How we look after our people

Our values

Our values guide our actions and conduct across all aspects of our business, influencing not only our people but also our other stakeholders.

We are dedicated to passing on a strong and successful business to future generations by living our company values.

We prioritise doing the right things in the right way, speaking up against wrongdoing, and demonstrating care and respect for each other.

Embracing teamwork and accountability, we build our brands and businesses by making fair decisions, valuing diversity, and placing customers at the heart of our operations.

Striving for boldness and positivity, we achieve greater success through continuous improvement, an open-minded approach to trying new things, and a collaborative commitment to each other’s success.

Our culture

At HBK, our working culture is the cornerstone of our sustained success.

We are committed to fostering a respectful, open, and inclusive environment, free from bullying, harassment, or discrimination.

By actively promoting diversity within our teams, we drive growth, and make decisions based on merit, without discrimination.

Our goal is to provide fair opportunities and rewards for all colleagues in alignment with our policies and values.

Diversity and inclusion

We cultivate an inclusive and empowered culture, emphasising a strong sense of belonging.

Recently, we launched a company-wide initiative, featuring employee-led inclusion groups and a Global Council, to ensure diverse voices shape how we engage with colleagues, customers, and stakeholders.

Health and safety

Health, safety, and wellbeing are essential, ensuring everyone’s right to a safe work environment.

Our unwavering commitment places the health, safety, and wellbeing of our people as the top priority, with a pursuit of zero harm in all our business actions.

Great place to work

After years of ongoing efforts at HBK, we have reinforced our commitment to being not just a preferred employer, but also a great place to work.

We focus on belonging, innovation, development, and growth to help our people thrive at HBK.

Legislation

At HBK, we believe in business done fairly and ethically. We strongly advocate for human rights, encourage a fair and effective supply chain, and enforce multiple ethical frameworks – our Code of Business Ethics, and our supplier code of conduct – to ensure these goals are achieved throughout every level of our organisation.

Ensuring a sustainable business means safeguarding human rights and combating modern slavery, aligning with our ethical responsibility.

We strongly adhere to international laws, particularly those included in the International Bill of Human Rights, addressing both human rights and modern slavery concerns. Our dedication to preventing modern slavery, child labour, and human trafficking is present across our entire corporate spectrum.

By aligning with the principles of the International Labour Organization’s Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, we also consistently ensure our suppliers actively identify and address potential violations within their operations and value chain.

These commitments go beyond our immediate workforce, also applying to our partners’ employees and direct or indirect suppliers to champion human rights and oppose modern slavery in all forms.

At HBK, we adhere to a Code of Business Ethics, establishing an ethical framework for our operations and guiding our business conduct globally.

This Code is applicable wherever we operate, and we take it very seriously, expecting all employees and business partners to do the same. It is also a source of competitive strength, emphasising its integral role in our ethical commitment.

Our Global Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) specifies the minimum standards that we expect of ourselves and our supply chain and are our foundation for doing business. These standards are based on our values and should be reflected in all our dealings with our suppliers. This Code sits alongside Our Code of Business Ethics.

Where there is divergence between local laws and regulations and the standards set out in this Code, suppliers should adopt the higher standard.

Our commitment to sustainable supply chains is reflected in our alignment and commitment to the UN Global Compact.
