Labour Practices

Labour practices encompass the full range of policies, systems, and actions through which organisations manage their relationship with workers, ensure decent working conditions, and respect fundamental labour rights.

ISO 26000 identifies labour practices as a core subject of social responsibility, covering employment and employment relationships, conditions of work and social protection, social dialogue, health and safety at work, and human development and training in the workplace. The ILO's Decent Work Agenda provides the overarching framework, while GRI 400-series standards and ESRS S1 (Own Workforce) provide detailed disclosure requirements.
