I am pleased to confirm that since joining the Global Compact APTMetrics has continued to support its ten principles with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. We have worked to make the Global Compact and its principles part of the strategy, culture and day-to-day operations of our company. APTMetrics has made a clear statement of this commitment to our stakeholders and the general public. APTMetrics has created policy and implemented procedures to ensure our compliance and support of the ten principles. We will continue to work towards furthering our commitment to these principles by reviewing our progress and challenging ourselves to constantly improve.

Sincerely yours,

APT Metrics has a policy of respecting the human rights of our employees, clients, and anyone within our scope. This is accomplished through a consistent and legally defensible hiring and employment process that is in line with all federal and state hiring mandates. APT Metrics never has and never will be complicit in human rights abuses. In addition, we ensure that these human rights principles are embedded in the assessment and hiring practices that we implement for our global organizational clients.

APT Metrics has a variety of mechanisms to ensure our adherence to the human rights principle. Training on sexual harassment is necessary for all employees as part of ongoing employment. An employee relations manager is in place to address grievances from employees. APT Metrics also promotes an open door policy regarding any issues employees may have about their workplace.
