Our Commitment

At Puzzel, we believe businesses can play a critical role in promoting, respecting, and advancing human rights. Guided by our company values as well as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, we are committed to upholding human rights in our workforce, in our business practices, and within our broader global communities. Our community of employees, customers, investors, partners, and vendors include a diversity of race, ethnicity, language, religion, political affiliation, sexual identity, sexual orientation and more. We celebrate the diversity of our people and are committed to practices and policies that support dignity and respect for all. 

Respect for Human Rights 

Puzzel’s business operations and policies uphold the principles of internationally recognized human rights. We respect human rights in the workforce, in our business operations, and in our supply chain. In line with our commitment to the highest standards of legal and ethical business conduct, we support the elimination of modern slavery and human trafficking as set forth in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) reflects these values and prohibits any unlawful or unethical activity by any of our directors, officers, employees, or consultants. We require completion of training on our Code for every employee. Through our employee volunteering, company donations, and products, we regularly support organizations which align with our mission to promote dignity, inclusion, and respect for all people. Our global policy applies to all the jurisdictions in which we operate. 

Governance and Stakeholder Input 

We review our Human Rights Policy annually. This statement is approved by our Board of Directors. We take the input of our stakeholders seriously. We have incorporated and will incorporate feedback we receive in engagements with our investors and customers regarding human rights in the development and implementation of this policy. As we build upon and monitor the effectiveness of our policies, our commitment is to continue to be transparent regarding that process with that stakeholder community.
