JPMorgan Chase supports fundamental principles of human rights across all our lines of business and in each region of the world in which we operate. JPMorgan Chase’s respect for the protection and preservation of human rights is guided by the principles set forth in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. JPMorgan Chase’s relationships with our employees, clients and suppliers, and with the countries and communities in which we operate, are intended to reflect the principles, policies, codes and accords set forth and referred to in this Human Rights Statement. Our conviction with respect to responsible, honest and ethical behavior informs our Code of Conduct and the character of our company is defined by the personal integrity and honesty of our employees. JPMorgan Chase has adopted the Wolfsberg Principles and is one of the founders of The Carbon Principles for understanding carbon risk. Our asset management business has adopted the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. JPMorgan Chase has also published an Environmental and Social Policy Framework. It includes implementation of the Equator Principles for certain transactions which, through the International Finance Corporation's environmental and social Performance Standards, addresses issues such as labor and working conditions, community health and safety, land acquisitions and resettlement, and the treatment of indigenous peoples. "We believe we can play a constructive role in helping to promote respect for human rights" JPMorgan Chase believes it is the role of government in each country to protect the human rights, including the safety and security, of its citizens. However, we believe we can play a constructive role in helping to promote respect for human rights by our own actions and by seeking to engage with the governments of the countries with and in which we operate. Further, we acknowledge the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as the recognized framework for corporations to respect human rights in their own operations and through their business relationships. JPMorgan Chase complies with applicable international and local legal requirements in the countries in which we operate. Where local law conflicts with the principles contained in this Human Rights Statement, JPMorgan Chase complies with local requirements while, at the same time, seeking ways to uphold the principles set forth in this Human Rights Statement. While JPMorgan Chase recognizes that it is the responsibility of each client and supplier to define its own policy and approach to the issue of human rights, we believe such relationships provide an opportunity for the development of best practices relating to the promotion of human rights. In our client relationships we seek to incorporate respect for human rights and demonstrate a commitment to fundamental principles of human rights through our own behavior. We seek to engage with suppliers whose values and business principles are consistent with our own and through our procurement policies and standards seek to encourage behavior by our suppliers that is consistent with the principles set forth in this Human Rights Statement. JPMorgan Chase is committed to respecting the human rights of our employees through our internal employment policies and practices, such as our Global Privacy Policy, which protects the personal information of employees and our health, family care and diversity plans and programs. As part of our broad effort to ensure that respect for human rights is integrated into the business of the firm, JPMorgan Chase has adopted policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with legal requirements and which seek to prevent our products and services from being used for improper purposes. Such policies and procedures include those contained in our Code of Conduct, our Anti-Corruption, Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Bribery, and Know Your Customer and counter-terror financing policies. JPMorgan Chase is additionally subject to laws and regulations prohibiting commerce with certain countries, organizations and individuals. JPMorgan Chase’s support for the protection and preservation of human rights reflects our core values. We recognize that this must be a continuing effort, with ongoing work to reassess our practices and our approach in light of changing global circumstances and an evolving global policy environment. We are dedicated to exemplifying good corporate citizenship through our commitment to respecting human rights and through our broader commitment to corporate responsibility generally. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
