Corrective action plan + Cancel contracts

"If critical breaches are identified, they must be addressed immediately. If they are addressed satisfactorily, a supplier site can then become approved. In this way, our audit process is contributing to improving conditions for workers by working with supplier site owners to address any issues. If a supplier site is not willing or able to address a critical breach, our business will not continue to buy from that supplier site."

 

Worker remediation

"We continue to build the awareness and knowledge of our employees and workers on human rights, including labour rights, encouraging them to speak up, without retribution, about any concerns they may have, including through our grievance channels. We also promote the provision of effective grievance mechanisms by our suppliers."
