Question Id: S2.SBM-3_09
Our material negative impacts on our suppliers’ and sub-contractors’ workers primarily relate to work-related rights violations, including excessive working hours, as well as concerns over safety for all workers engaged in our supply chain. There have also been known issues related to debt bondage, and state-imposed forced labour may occur in the solar PV supply chain. 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.
