Our Third Party Compliance Code outlines our expectations toward suppliers and business partners regarding working conditions for workers in the value chain. This includes the core International Labour Organization (ILO) standards on working conditions, workplace health and safety, freedom of association, forced/child labour and non-discrimination.

Our global recruitment platform contains embedded materials designed to prompt inclusive recruitment behaviour. Furthermore, we have expanded training in unconscious bias, inclusive leadership and psychological safety, and we have developed the capabilities of our HR leaders to drive DE&I-related topics and training locally. To support this, DE&I-specific themes of relevance for our employee performance dialogue have been part of the global process for performance dialogue since the beginning of 2023. This provides input to assess the effectiveness of our actions on DE&I, which is also evaluated through our Pulse survey, as it has specific questions regarding inclusion and fair treatment.
