For this metric to be met, it requires an explicit statement of the risk and where it occurs, it cannot apply to general statements about high levels of risk.
"TECA's risk assessment is informed by the following factors:
a. Geography, with respect to:
1. The extent to which a supplier's geographic location has implemented, or is subject to, human rights legislation or international human rights regimes.
2. The strength of enforcement regimes with respect to any applicable human rights legislation or regimes in the supplier's jurisdiction.
3. Whether the supplier's jurisdiction is subject to conflict, corruption, or known human rights violations.
4. The degree of transparency in that jurisdiction for the achievement of human rights-based outcomes, including with respect to the supply products or process, including products used in hotel operations.
b. Market, with respect to:
1. The extent to which that industry is subject to regulatory oversight (including in relation to the sourcing of inputs, and applicable labour laws).
2. Whether that industry is known to be particularly prone to modern slavery practices.
c. size, this metric acknowledges that Modern Slavery risk may be more pronounced in smaller suppliers with less regulatory interaction." (Pages 2-3)."
While they mention that risk assessment is guided by factors such as geography, market, and size, they do not specify regions, industries, or resources where the risk of modern slavery is significant.
