Introduction

PEI is committed to respecting and promoting human rights in all aspects of our business including our operations, supply chains and business relationships. PEI recognises our responsibility to ensure that all our activities do not cause or contribute to any human rights abuses.

PEI aligns itself with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) , as well as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work.

Respect for Labour and Employment Rights

PEI strictly prohibits:

  • forced labour, human trafficking and child labour

Supply Chain/ Procurement Responsibility

As a medical device distributor, PEI works closely with manufacturers, our logistics partners and other service providers.

We expect all those we work with to uphold the same human rights principles we follow. Our partners must also comply with local and international laws relating to ethical employment and environmental protection. PEI also expect that they maintain robust quality, safety and traceability standards and to participate in audits, assessments, or corrective action programs when requested.

Reporting and Grievance Mechanisms

We encourage employees, contractors, suppliers, and external stakeholders to report any concerns related to human rights, safety, or unethical behaviour. Reports can be made through our established confidential channels without fear of retaliation. All concerns will be investigated promptly and addressed appropriately.

Continuous Improvement

PEI is committed to continuously strengthening our human rights practices. We regularly review and update our policies, training programs, and due-diligence processes to ensure alignment with evolving global standards and emerging risks.

Accountability

This Human Rights Statement is approved by senior leadership and applies to all employees, contractors, and business partners. We hold ourselves accountable to these commitments and expect the same from all who represent our company.
