About the data

Publishing audit results can drive improvements in supplier compliance and provide stakeholders with useful information that can enable labour and environmental issues to be resolved quickly and collaboratively.

In this question you are being asked to identify for which facility-level (tier 1 level, beyond tier 1 e.g. processing facilities, and at raw material level) the company publishes a summary of assessment findings or aggregate rating without naming individual facilities. Start by looking at whether the company publishes a summary of assessment findings or aggregate facility rating without naming individual facilities.

Things to watch out for:
- Summary of assessment findings are often statements such as: 90% of our factories audited received a C or above
- This can also be a table/text with number or percent of factories per audit grade e.g. 45 facilities received a gold rating, 25 facilities receive a silver rating...
