"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."

I have removed the "In Development (supply chain workers)" option because the company is not actually developing a system themselves, they are "encouraging suppliers" to do so.

Other than that, no detail is provided about how employees can raise concerns, but it does mention they are protected (that they can report them without retribution).
