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.

Our projects involve a diverse range of workers across the value chain, including those in upstream activities (such as refining, manufacturing, logistics, transportation, and mining and extraction of minerals and metals) and on-site construction, particularly in offshore operations. The latter includes workers at our project sites who are not part of our own workforce, such as subcontracted or temporary workers. These workers are materially impacted by our activities due to the nature of their work.
