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 have assessed IROs related to workers in our value chain, focusing primarily on our first-tier suppliers’ workers but also workers further out in our supply chain, by using industry knowledge and internal knowledge based on our engagement in various forums. Workers in our value chain who are likely to be materially impacted by our operations and business relationships are included in the scope of our disclosures.
