Art. 1 Introduction
Committed to high standards of ethics, integrity, and sustainability, Data Riders reaffirms the importance of protecting and promoting human rights across all levels of its operations and relationships. We align our consulting services and internal processes with international guidelines, TSM (Towards Sustainable Mining) and The Copper Mark, which demand not only technical excellence, but also social responsibility and unconditional respect for human dignity.
Art. 2 Objectives & scope

Art. 3 Fundamental principles
- Treat every person with respect and dignity, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other personal status.
- Ensure equal opportunities in hiring, promotion, training, and compensation.
- Build inclusive and safe environments where individuals can freely realize their potential.
- Reject all prejudice and discrimination, evaluating competence equitably.
- Ensure internal policies promote fairness and do not produce disparate impacts.
Art. 4 Equal opportunity & DE&I
Data Riders is committed to building diverse teams and evaluating competence based on merit. DE&I is a project input, not a PR output: embedded across hiring, partnerships, vendor selection, and project design. Learn more in our commitment to DEI & Sustainability .

Art. 7 Reporting channel
Data Riders provides secure and confidential channels for employees, vendors, clients, and stakeholders to report concerns, suggestions, or suspected human rights violations.

Art. 8 Investigation & remediation
- Every report is investigated impartially, with confidentiality guaranteed for reporters and victims.
- Retaliation against anyone reporting in good faith is not tolerated.
