Where national law and international human rights standards differ, Tokmanni Group will seek to follow the higher standard and seek solutions to respect those standards with relevant Stakeholders. 

Tokmanni Group demonstrates its commitment and addresses its human rights impacts by carrying out human rights due diligence. In accordance with the due diligence principle, Tokmanni Group assesses the human rights impacts of its operations on an ongoing basis and monitors the results of these assessments as part of developing the Group’s human rights work. 

Tokmanni Group’s potential human rights impacts can be divided into direct and indirect impacts. The direct impacts are related to Tokmanni Group’s own operations, for example, the safety of customers and staff as well as equality and non-discrimination. Indirect impacts are related to Tokmanni Group’s supply chains through Business Partners, for example, the realization of the human rights of workers in factories used by Tokmanni Group. 

Tokmanni Group avoids violating the human rights of others and intervenes in negative human rights impacts that it has been directly or indirectly involved in or that it has influenced through other actors. When necessary, Tokmanni Group takes corrective actions in line with human rights due diligence, and communicates about them according to its involvement, possibilities and influence.  

Tokmanni Group believes that increased protection for human rights and labour standards globally is best achieved by working together with Stakeholders. Tokmanni Group actively seeks opportunities to collaborate with key stakeholders and to use its leverage for continuous improvement and realization of human rights. 

Recognizing that corporate activities play a major role in the realization of rights enjoyed by people, Tokmanni Group is committed to promoting positive human rights impacts. Tokmanni Group promotes the realization of human rights in its supply chains through, for example, supplier audits and certification of high-risk raw materials. Tokmanni Group also takes special care when operating or procuring products from high-risk areas. 

Human rights due diligence evaluation is monitored by the Group Compliance Unit, which meets four times a year and as needed for urgent matters.

The principles and guidelines for responsible sourcing were updated in 2021 and are regularly trained to Tokmanni Group’s procurement and purchasing staff, as well as implemented on a Group-level.
