Overview
What this RAVS document does
Hiring clients screen contractors on labour practices as part of environmental, social, and governance pre-qualification. A configured fair labour element expects a real policy covering wages, hours, and the rights of workers.
This document states your company's fair labour policy in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: fair wages and benefits, working hours and rest, the prohibition on forced and child labour, freedom of association, non-discrimination and equal opportunity, a respectful workplace, and the reporting of concerns. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- A written fair labour policy with a clear commitment
- Fair wages, benefits, and compliant working hours and rest
- The prohibition on forced labour and child labour
- Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
- Non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and a respectful workplace
- A reporting channel for labour concerns, without retaliation

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the fair labour element in the ISNetworld ESG questionnaire.

Practical guidance
How to pass the fair labour review the first time
- Make the commitments enforceable. A reviewer wants to see clear positions on wages, hours, forced and child labour, and discrimination, not a values statement.
- Include a reporting channel. The document covers a route for workers to raise labour concerns without retaliation. A reviewer expects that channel to exist.
- Keep the policy current. Review the policy as your operations and the relevant labour standards change.
