- Does the undertaking disclose the process for setting targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities, specifically in relation to value chain workers? Furthermore, does the undertaking provide information on whether and how it engages directly with workers in the value chain, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies with insight into their situation? Additionally, considering material negative impacts affecting value chain workers that may be linked to entities or operations outside the undertaking's direct control, does the undertaking disclose whether and how it seeks to use leverage in its business relationships to manage these impacts? This may involve the use of commercial leverage, such as enforcing contractual requirements or implementing incentives, other forms of leverage within the relationship, such as providing training or capacity-building on workers’ rights, or collaborative leverage with peers or other actors, such as initiatives aimed at responsible recruitment or ensuring workers receive an adequate wage.
