Regulatory News:
Teleperformance (Paris:TEP), a global leader in outsourced digital integrated business services, today announced that Bureau Veritas audits in six countries have concluded that the company uses International Standard ISO 26000 Guidelines on Social Responsibility in its operations.
Bureau Veritas, a worldwide leader in testing, inspection and certification, audited Teleperformance's social responsibility practices in six countries Greece, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Portugal and the United States where the country has substantial Trust and Safety operations. In particular, the review placed emphasis on Teleperformance's people practices through the lens of Corporate Social Responsibility and compliance to local labor laws. Bureau Veritas conducted this independent audit against the framework of ISO: 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility. The company's Colombia operations received similar independent assurance from Bureau Veritas in an earlier separate review.
Based on this most recent review, Bureau Veritas concluded:
- Teleperformance has global guidelines related to social responsibility which its operations adopt in every country, and the company is interested in implementing management systems that may enhance quality, safety and health of its staff.
- Management team is highly aware of the need to keep healthy and safe workspaces and thus promote the well-being of employees and a dignifying work.
- Teleperformance has a solid structure in place to promote respect for diversity, inclusion, and gender equality; and to reject discrimination in every way.
- Management is aware of the company's policies and programs aimed at promoting and training employees; and about the mechanisms used to avoid corruption and unethical behaviors.
- Teleperformance has identified its stakeholders and is involved with them. This allows the company to recognize stakeholder needs and expectations, enabling it to address them via different initiatives and programs. Likewise, there are policies in place to promote employment, including among vulnerable communities.
- Nothing has led Bureau Veritas to believe that labor or human rights are not respected at Teleperformance across the six countries.
- From a general perspective, Bureau Veritas considers the following opportunities for improvement: further strengthen social responsibility metrics, audits and governance to enable continual improvement in the United States; promote environmental management in the different countries by emphasizing climate change strategy and measuring GHG; promote the creation of ESG reports at a country level; and share CSR good practices among countries.
The Bureau Veritas summary report is accessible on the Teleperformance website.
