Human rights are inherent to all people, without any discrimination. That is why Lluch Essence and all its employees recognize and are committed to the respect of internationally recognized human rights as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This commitment is reflected through the adherence to the United Nations Global Compact, in which the work for the respect of human rights is reflected in its first six Principles, which emanate from the International Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Lluch Essence has its own measures that establish its commitment to respect human rights, which are reflected in the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics establishes the principles, values and standards of conduct that should govern the ethical behavior of all the people who are part of Lluch Essence and all its stakeholders (employees, agents, distributors, customers and suppliers, among others). Similarly, Lluch Essence works to ensure respect for human rights throughout its value chain, from ensuring health and safety at work to fighting for equality and non-discrimination.

Lluch Essence works to identify and prioritize the most relevant matters for the company and its stakeholders, which is why since 2021 we have the first materiality assessment of the company. From this analysis, we measure the most significant social, environmental and economic impacts of the company to ensure that we focus on the right priorities.
Lluch Essences activity has an impact that goes far beyond economic results, so business performance must be aligned with the expectations of stakeholders and society in general.
Lluch Essence follows the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Integrated Reporting Framework for the study of its materiality, and has been guided throughout the process by an external consultant.
The process began with the analysis of material issues taking into account the current context and the Sustainable Development Goals implemented by the United Nations Compact. Twenty material aspects were collected under five different themes: acting on climate change, caring about people (internal and external) and growing business for good (good governance and economic aspects).
The result of the process was validated by the General Management and the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, integrated into the sustainability strategy and published in the Sustainability Report 2022.
