Does the undertaking disclose the process for setting targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities, specifically detailing whether and how it engaged directly with affected communities, their legitimate representatives, or credible proxies with insight into their situation? Additionally, does the undertaking describe the processes to remediate negative impacts and the channels available for affected communities to raise concerns, particularly in relation to the protection of individuals using these mechanisms against retaliation? Furthermore, does the undertaking treat grievances confidentially, respecting privacy and data protection rights, and are the mechanisms available for anonymous use, such as through representation by a third party?

Question

Accepted Answer

We are working to establish a clear community engagement process that will involve engaging directly with the affected communities, their representatives, or credible proxies. In the meantime, we are focused on gathering data and assessing current practices to ensure that future targets are effective and aligned with stakeholder needs. We are not yet fully able to monitor how effectively our policies and actions address our material sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities for affected communities. We ensure individuals who use these grievance mechanisms are protected from retaliation, and that whistleblower reports are handled confidentially, in line with our 'Good business conduct policy' and 'Whistleblower policy'.
