Dinant welcomes dispute resolution program in Aguán
- As part of its commitment to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, Dinant has removed all firearms from security men and women at its plantations, extraction mills and manufacturing plants.
- Dinant has invested significantly in building better relations with nearby communities through locally employed social workers and formal grievance mechanisms, providing local people with simple, safe and reliable ways of communicating with the company. The Grievance Mechanism is already operating in Comayagua, and regional versions will soon be launched in Leán, San Pedro Sula and the Aguán.
- Dinant rigorously benchmarks its operations against the principles of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) regarding the economic, environmental and social impact of its African Palm oil business.
- Dinant’s enhanced Security Manual - the result of months of consultation and 3,600 hours of training - enforces the company requirement that employees and contractors act with respect and courtesy towards members of the public at all times. It draws on our Ethics Standards, our Human Rights Policy, and extensive training by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
