1. Definition of discrimination

Discrimination means: making a direct and indirect distinction between people on the basis of age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, life, political or religious beliefs, race, ethnic origin or nationality.

Discrimination also explicitly includes responding to requests from clients to distinguish between persons when recruiting and selecting on the basis of criteria that are not necessary or relevant for the proper performance of the position.

2. Position C&M Labour Supply B.V.

1. C&M Labour Supply B.V. rejects any form of discrimination.
2. Requests from clients to take certain criteria into account when recruiting and selecting will only be honored if there is objective justification.

There is objective justification such as selecting on the requested criteria:

• It serves a legitimate purpose. This means that there is a good - job-related - reason to select according to relevant criteria when recruiting and selecting (an example of a legitimate goal is safety);
• Results in achieving the legitimate goal, the means is appropriate to achieve the goal;
• Reasonably related to the goal; there is proportionality with respect to the goal;
