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.

Question

Accepted Answer

Currently, we have not set time-bound and outcome-oriented targets that meet the criteria for effectively reducing negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, or managing material risks and opportunities related to value chain workers. However, we recognise the importance of establishing robust targets to drive meaningful progress in these areas. We are working to establish a clear process that will involve engaging directly with value chain workers, their representatives, or credible proxies. In the meantime, we are focused on gathering data and assessing current practices to ensure that future targets are effective and aligned with stakeholder needs. We are not yet fully able to monitor how effectively our policies and actions address our material sustainability-related impacts and risks for workers in the value chain.
