Question Id: S2-1_07
To ensure our decisions and activities are informed by the perspectives of value chain workers, we engage proactively with them and their representatives, including trade unions. The outcome of this engagement directly informs our strategies for identifying, assessing, and addressing actual and potential impacts on workers. Through this collaborative process, we work to uphold fair labour practices and to foster safe, dignified, and inclusive work environments across our operations and partnerships.

Question Id: S2.SBM-3_04
We are aware of a material risk related to forced labour allegations of inadequate labour protections and oversight in our supply chain for critical components. These include minerals and metals, such as rare earth elements for wind turbine magnets, copper for export or array cables, lithium for batteries, and silica for solar panels. These materials are often sourced from countries and areas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where enforcement of labour protections is weaker, increasing the risk of forced and child labour.
