We are actively working to establish and implement additional mechanisms to provide or enable remedy for human rights impacts on our value chain workers. These mechanisms will be specifically designed for value chain workers to raise concerns about labour or human rights issues. Once in place, they will allow value chain workers to have better access to reporting any violations, which will be promptly reviewed and addressed by our compliance and internal audit teams. Additionally, we will collaborate with suppliers to support corrective actions, offering guidance and resources to address identified issues in alignment with our policies.
