Our approach to managing our negative impacts on value chain workers and our processes for identifying what is needed and appropriate to respond to these impacts emphasise responsible sourcing, the promotion of labour rights, and address environmental and social impacts and risks. To achieve this, we conduct regular assessments, risk-based audits, and stakeholder engagements, enabling us to monitor and ensure compliance across the supply chain. Our approach to addressing concerns and grievances within our value chain is built on the principles of transparency, trust, and effective remediation that is proportionate to the grievance that has occurred. We continuously work to strengthen our processes for providing or contributing to appropriate remediation to value chain workers who have been harmed, where we have identified that we have caused or contributed to a negative impact.

We work closely with key suppliers to monitor issues raised and addressed while also assessing the effectiveness of these grievance channels, ensuring they are consistently available and trustworthy resources for value chain workers. However, currently we do not have a formal process in place to assess the effectiveness of our mechanisms and communication channels specifically for value chain workers. We are actively working to establish a global methodology for aggregating feedback and grievance management, which will also enable us to systematically track and monitor the effectiveness of our efforts. Specifically, we aim to implement a standardised process for receiving, addressing, resolving, and providing remedies to value chain workers where necessary. We plan to pilot a grievance reporting channel for a select supplier to collect workers’ grievances via a digital solution by 2025.
