Repsol, global leader in the 2023 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark ranking

We are the first Spanish company to lead the world's most recognized ranking in Human Rights compliance.

Repsol is the company with the best score in the most important global ranking in human rights - 2023 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB), - which analyzes the 110 most relevant companies from diverse economic sectors. Moreover, it's the first Spanish company to lead this ranking.

It's also worth noting that our score stands out above the top 127 companies in the automotive, food, and technology sectors that were assessed in 2022.

CHRB highlights us as the only company in the extractive and apparel sectors assessed this year that is committed to working with human rights defenders to create a safe and favorable environment for civic participation. Likewise, it notes that we have a well-established due diligence process and grievance mechanism, and we have clear responsibilities for human rights management in all our business areas.

This recognition strengthens Repsol's commitment and effort to ensure respect for human rights in our operations, business relationships, and supply chains, as well as the diligence and transparency of our actions.

The company has obtained the maximum global score in "Company human rights practices" and is also first among the 55 companies assessed from the extractive and apparel sectors.

In the last few years, Repsol has been climbing up this ranking, which has allowed us to measure and assess the effectiveness of our actions and measures in the social and human rights field. These results contribute to improving, advancing, and responsibly tackling the new challenges that Repsol has in this field, as part of its mission as an energy company committed to a more inclusive, sustainable, and just world.

Repsol and human rights

Repsol is convinced that the role of companies as agents of change in respecting human rights is essential. Therefore, the company has been members since 2002 of the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and since 2003 has had regulations relating to human rights.

Much progress has been made since then. In 2008, Repsol signed its first human rights policy and in 2011 embraced the publication of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as its roadmap, convinced that this way of working makes an important contribution to becoming an increasingly sustainable company.

What is the CHRB?

The Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) of the World Benchmarking Alliance is the most important human rights ranking in the labor world at a global level. Every year it assesses and compares the performance of the biggest companies in the world in the extractive, agricultural production, apparel, and ICT manufacturing sectors.

To do so, they take into account their policies, governance structure, work processes, and practices in place to assess their approach to human rights, as well as how they respond to allegations of human rights violations. The aim is to incentivize companies to act, identifying areas where it is possible to advance and lead to meet the SDGs.
