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.

During the year, we have also taken steps to address critical work-related rights impacts, including debt bondage and forced labour. For instance, we are working with industry peers through the Worker Welfare Group, a partnership focused on labour rights and worker welfare requirements within the marine construction sector. The Worker Welfare Group has developed a set of principles and guidelines to support, in the first instance, the Singapore marine construction sector, enabling it to meet international standards for worker rights and worker welfare, particularly focusing on responsible recruitment, improved accommodation, better transport, and improved access to grievance mechanisms. We have engaged with key stakeholders to advocate for systemic improvements and are also working with local organisations to facilitate access to remedy for workers. Going forward, we aim to build on our initial learnings from the Worker Welfare Group and implement the principles for fair treatment of migrant workers throughout 2025. This will further strengthen our dedication to labour rights and worker welfare.
