We respect the universally recognized human rights of all people, including our personnel, our suppliers and individuals based in the communities in which we operate, and seek to operate in a manner consistent with internationally recognized standards, including the principles reflected in global frameworks. We work to identify and prevent potential adverse human rights impacts from our operations, and we are committed to investigating, monitoring and remediating impacts should they occur.

Our due diligence process includes implementing social impact assessments at all site locations to understand community-focused environmental and social risks, including those related to human rights, and developing mitigation, management, monitoring and reporting plans as needed, based on the results of these assessments. Examples of these management efforts include: regularly assessing the social impact risk identification and mitigation strategy; engaging early and often with vulnerable communities and relevant stakeholders to understand concerns; prioritizing, acknowledging and addressing potential impacts on under-resourced or underserved communities; and actively seeking feedback to inform our social-investment strategy and planning throughout the project life cycle.

We undertake meaningful consultation with potentially affected groups, and other relevant stakeholders, to understand risks and concerns. We follow stakeholder engagement plans at each site, and conduct regular, proactive engagement and consultation with various stakeholder groups to understand their concerns and provide relevant project information. We have a grievance mechanism in place at all site locations, including procedures to respond to and address stakeholder concerns, from the beginning of project planning and throughout the project life cycle. We log and track community feedback and strive to address concerns in a timely and transparent manner. 

We respect the sovereignty, rights and culture of Indigenous peoples. Proactive engagement with these communities, when relevant based on the locations of our operations, is an important element of our overall stakeholder engagement, consultation and grievance processes.

Cheniere strives to ensure that its suppliers comply with laws and regulations applicable to the scope of its business activities. We do not use forced labor, prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor, or child labor in our operations, and we have proactively implemented procedures to seek to minimize the risk of our suppliers using any of the above.

We provide targeted, comprehensive and ongoing training to our workforce with respect to a variety of ethics and compliance issues. As part of our annual compliance and ethics training, all eligible employees certify that they have received, understand and agree to adhere to the Code of Business Conduct. We have also made Modern Slavery awareness training accessible to all Cheniere employees.
