시행된 조치: BESIX said it has, 'made significant strides' in protecting workers' rights wherever it operates. Sub-contractors are required to comply with welfare standards that, 'encompass the full spectrum of workers' welfare, from safety and wages to living conditions.' It acknowledged that, 'some local contexts have proven challenging,' and as a result it has already taken additional steps to improve the implementation of these standards. 'Our priority is to ensure that all workers are treated with dignity and fairness,' it said. Aramco did not respond to the journalist's request for comment.
