Question Id: S2-1_04
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.

To measure the effectiveness of our engagements, we assess outcomes of our assessments on an ongoing basis, including any agreements or remedial actions implemented as a result. We continuously work to improve our approach and, ultimately, value chain worker conditions. The senior operational responsibility for overseeing these engagements rests with our Chief Procurement Officer, ensuring that results are integrated into our broader due diligence processes. In 2024, we have improved the evaluation of our due diligence process and are working on optimising it alongside relevant internal teams, such as our QHSE team. In 2025, we aim to implement the new process in the organisation as well as mature the monitoring of contracted suppliers.
