In this question you are being asked to identify whether the company publishes how it incorporates human rights and environmental performance into purchasing practices. Start by looking for a disclosure of how suppliers are incentivised to improve human rights impacts and environmental management.
Where to look for this information:
- Corporate Social Responsibility report
- Company documents
- Company policies
- Company websites
- Company code of conduct
- Parent company documents (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company policies (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company websites (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company code of conduct (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
Good keywords for your searches include:
- Long-term supplier relation
- Purchasing practices
- Price premium
Things to watch out for:
- We are looking for disclosure of how these incentives are implemented, it is not enough to say that they are in place
- With supplier "incentives" we mean e.g. long-term commitments to purchase, longer contracts, increased orders, price premiums, fewer audits
- Training is not sufficient
