Key objectives
“Chiquita, IUF and COLSIBA agree to work on developing a joint understanding on sexual harassment, so that this kind of harassment will not be tolerated in the workplace. This joint work includes the creation by mutual agreement of training strategies and sharing of examples of good practice aimed at personnel, for the prevention of sexual harassment situations. “
To that purpose, every workplace must take the necessary measures to ensure that man and women workers have access to information about their rights in the workplace. The measures must take into consideration the laws (and relevant particularities of each country where Chiquita operates). Laws usually constitute minimum and not maximum standards. Where the provisions of law and this agreement address the same subject, the standard which provides the best protection to workers should be applied. “
