"In addition to audits and risk assessments, we invite employees and business partners to bring human rights issues to our attention, and we protect the people who do. We regularly remind employees and suppliers about the availability of our global ethics helpline, an anonymous service managed by an independent third party, for reporting misconduct or other problems. The helpline is available 24 hours a day in all of the major languages spoken by our employees, and is available to suppliers’ workers and their legitimate representatives. When we receive reports of misconduct, we promptly investigate and correct any confirmed problems.

Protecting the people involved in our business is the right thing to do, and it is also foundational to our long-term success. We remain devoted to preventing and eradicating human rights abuses, including any form of modern slavery".
