Protecting Human Rights

We commit to protect and respect the human rights of our workers, those within our supply chain, and in the communities in which we operate. Our Human Rights Policy applies to all employees worldwide and is aligned with our Code of Conduct. Additionally, we expect our suppliers to uphold the commitments described in our Supplier Expectations.

Advancing Our Human Rights Efforts

Human Rights Due Diligence

ADM's human rights due diligence process is designed to identify, prevent, resolve, and/or mitigate adverse impacts on people and the environment in our operations and supply chains. Our program enables us to establish and communicate clear expectations to our customers and suppliers, while also monitoring compliance. This process serves as an effective enforcement mechanism to uphold our commitment to human rights and environmental stewardship. ADM is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, and our due diligence efforts are aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles. Read our 2024 Supply Chain Due Diligence Report to find out more.

 

Promoting Transparency and Ethical Labor Practice

We have made meaningful progress in addressing the risks of modern slavery and child labor. ADM remains firmly committed to continuously strengthening our policies and practices in this area. Read our 2024 Modern Slavery Statement to find out more.

Reporting a Concern

Our policies and programs aim to reduce adverse impacts but may not prevent all harm. If we cause or contribute to negative impacts, we are committed to providing access to remedy. Concerns can be reported through the ADM Way Helpline. For issues related to violations of our Policy to Protect Forests, Biodiversity and Communities, or our Human Rights Policy, please contact our Grievance and Resolution channel by emailing responsibility@adm.com.

Grievances received through responsibility@adm.com, along with investigation updates and actions taken by ADM, are available on the ADM Grievance webpage.
