Core+Living Wage Policy (direct employees)+About

history edit build

This metric is based on a set of indicators from the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark. Specifically, it is based on indicator D1.1.a/D2.1.a/D3.1 from the 2018 methodology.

The indicator is described as follows:

"The Company pays all its workers a living wage, which is regularly reviewed and negotiated through collective bargaining with relevant trade unions where they are operating. There are numerous definitions of living wage but the core concept is to provide a decent standard of living for a worker and his or her family based on a regular work week not including overtime hours. A living wage is sufficient to cover food, water, clothing, transport, education, health care and other essential needs for workers and their entitled official dependents and provide some discretionary income. Workers also receive equal pay for equal work."

The categories for this metric have been determined by considering CHRB's scoring criteria.

The CHRB sets the following criteria for awarding a Score of 1:

The Company indicates its target timeframe for paying all workers a living wage AND the Company describes how it determines a living wage for the regions where it operates, which includes involvement of relevant trade unions.
 
The CHRB sets the following criteria for awarding a Score of 2:
As well as describing how it determines a living wage for the regions where it operates, the Company indicates that it has
achieved paying the living wage AND that it regularly reviews its definition of the living wage including with relevant trade unions
