OMTECH-AMKO Oil & Gas Services Ghana Limited (OMTech) believes that business can only flourish
in societies where human rights are protected and respected. We recognise that a business is
responsible for respecting human rights, contributing to positive human rights and social impacts, and
reducing its environmental footprints. This is an area of growing importance to our employees,
workers, shareholders, investors, customers, consumers, suppliers, subcontractors, the communities
where we operate and civil society groups.
There is therefore both a business and a moral case for ensuring that human rights are upheld across
our operations and value chain. This Human Rights Policy Statement contains overarching principles,
which we embed into our policies and systems.
Our human rights policy is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the
International Bill of Human Rights, the Constitution of Ghana, and the International Labour
Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We are committed to
respecting all relevant internationally recognised human rights.
We follow the higher standard between national law and international human rights. If they conflict,
we adhere to national law while respecting international human rights as much as possible.
This Human Rights Policy Statement applies to OMTech and its operations. It includes the following
twelve components:
▪ Respect for Human Rights
▪ Community and Stakeholder Engagement
▪ Diversity and Inclusion
▪ Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining
▪ Safe and Healthy Workplace
▪ Workplace Security
▪ Forced Labour and Human Trafficking
▪ Child Labour
▪ Work Hours, Wages and Benefits
▪ Land Rights and Water Resources
▪ Healthy Lifestyles
▪ Guidance and Reporting for Employees
We regularly assess and improve our approach to human and labour rights. Collaborating with
external organisations such as NGOs, trade unions, suppliers, and business partners helps us address
shared challenges. We report progress annually and implement these principles throughout our
operations and value chain.
