Human Rights and Labor Standards Policies

Basin Explorer operate business in a responsible manner. At Basin Explorer, the way we conduct business is as important as the services we provide. Accordingly, Basin Explorer will only do business with suppliers, contractors, and consultants (collectively herein referenced as “Suppliers”) that comply with applicable and controlling laws, rules, and regulations (collectively herein referenced as “applicable laws”) and at a minimum, with standards of business conduct consistent with those set forth in this Human rights and Labor Standards (“HRLS”). It is Basin Explorer’s expectation that Suppliers, their employees, sub-suppliers and any other parties involved with the execution of our work, similarly comply with the applicable laws and the standards set forth in this HRLS.
