The “Outsourcing Employment Practices and Equivalent Rights Policy” at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport is in alignment with the eighth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 8), which advocates for fair employment and decent work. This policy underscores the importance of treating outsourced employees justly and upholding ethical employment standards. It mandates the university to rigorously vet and manage service outsourcing processes, ensuring the protection and welfare of the outsourced personnel. This includes providing them with the same employment benefits and facilities that are available to the university’s direct employees. Additionally, the policy promotes the selection of contractors who adhere to moral and ethical standards, encompassing fair wages, the safeguarding of labor rights, and a commitment to environmental and social responsibilities. In doing so, the university is actively contributing to the global objective of fostering sustainable economic growth and decent work opportunities for all, as encapsulated in SDG 8.
