Example for “Yes” value
p.13: “In April 2022, Nokia was notified, by a former business partner and employee of a supplier, of an alleged use of child labor and unsafe working practices by a subcontractor supplying services for a project between May and August 2021 in The Philippines. Nokia initiated its investigation process and immediately suspended the supplier from any further projects. Despite our best efforts, the potential victims could not be identified mainly due to the lack of documentation from the supplier. Although the supplier denied the allegations, evidence was gathered including professional medical opinion concerning the likely age of some individuals shown in received photo evidence. In the absence of certainty relating to some of the actual facts and circumstances, Nokia believes it is prudent to conclude that there may well have been a breach of Nokia’s Code of Conduct, and Human Rights Policy, related to the zero tolerance for child or forced labor of any kind in its own or supplier operations. Nokia made the decision to permanently block the supplier in question and any future supplier linked with the owner. For this case a remediation committee was established. As we could not conduct mitigation directly, we took a broader approach to help address one of the root causes for children and young people reaching the informal labor market. This root cause relates to dropping out of the formal education system. We have agreed a two-year program in The Philippines with an NGO partner that aims to strengthen alternative learning systems and ensure that young people complete an educational qualification.”
