MAGNA INTERNATIONAL | CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS
Diversity and Inclusion
The diversity of our employees is a source of strength for our global company. We therefore value and
respect people of different backgrounds, capabilities and opinions.
We abide by all applicable labour and employment laws, including those prohibiting discrimination and
harassment and those providing for reasonable accommodation of differences. We are committed to providing
equal employment and career advancement opportunities to everyone, without discrimination based on sex,
race, ethnic background, religion, disability or any other personal characteristic protected by law.
Respect for Human Rights
Respect for the human rights of our employees and other stakeholders is important to our business. We
intend to comply with all human rights laws and regulations that apply to us.
We provide fair working conditions for our employees and do not tolerate the use of child labour or
forced labour in our supply chain. We also expect any supplier or other company that we work with to act
ethically and comply with the law.
Q: I suspect that one of our suppliers may be using
underage workers. What should I do?
A: If you suspect that one of our suppliers is using
child labour, you must promptly report it to your
manager or a Legal Compliance expert.
Q: I’m considering promoting someone in our Troy,
Michigan, office to a role interfacing with our
North American suppliers. While she has all the
required qualifications, I’m worried that some of
our suppliers might be uncomfortable with her
physical disability. Is this a legitimate reason to
give someone else the promotion?
A: No. We strive to provide equal advancement
opportunity to everyone without discrimination
on legally protected grounds such as physical
disability. If the employee has the right
qualifications for the job, you must not deny her
the promotion based on her physical disability.
