The Firmenich standard requires compliance with national laws & ILO (International Labour Organization) Conventions and Recommendations and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights , in critical areas of employment & basic human rights including: 

• Child labor
• Forced labor
• Health & Safety
• Freedom of Association & Collective Bargaining
• Discipline
• Discrimination
• Working Hours
• Wages

In addition to applying this standard in its own affiliates, Firmenich has also included a Supplier Social Accountability Program within its Standard. This requires all suppliers and subcontractors, to formally commit to adhere to similar social standards (although not necessarily on a formal basis), and to provide evidence that these standards are being met.
