Human Rights
All businesses, including Kosmos, have a responsibility to respect human rights. We expect all of our employees, contractors, partners, suppliers, and co-venturers to respect human rights.
Our Human Rights Commitments
In addition to compliance with all applicable human rights and security laws and regulations, we commit to:
Respecting the local cultures near our operations and the rights of Indigenous peoples
Implementing the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
Upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Supplier Management
As stated in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we require suppliers to respect internationally recognized human rights, such as those set out in the United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights in a manner consistent with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and adhere to local laws in the context of their local labor market.
To ensure alignment with our expectations, Kosmos conducts risk-based due diligence throughout supplier engagement and sourcing. Our vendor contract forms, including Master Services Agreements and Service Orders, expressly require contractors to respect internationally recognized human rights.
Grievance Mechanisms
Kosmos maintains grievance mechanisms through which employees, contractors, and other stakeholders may anonymously raise concerns related to our operations, without fear of retaliation. These include local grievance mechanisms, and our Whistleblower Hotline.
If you believe that any practice raises questions as to compliance with our policies or applicable law, you can report it through our Whistleblower Hotline using the following website or number: https://app.vaultplatform.com/kosmos/open-reporting/relationship or 1-844-983-5515 (toll free, if called from within the United States) or +44 7723 441716 (United Kingdom).
