Worker remediation and Corrective action plan: "In the event our assessments reveal a facility in violation of these standards, our Supplier Sustainability team works with factory management, local stakeholders, and worker-representative organizations to create a corrective action plan, conducts follow-up visits to validate remediation is completed and educates workers on their right to free movement" (5).

 

Cancel contracts: "If a UAS case is found, we investigate, require remediation, and shall impose financial chargebacks, or, in severe or repeat cases, we will terminate our business with the supplier" (5).

If a UAS case is found, we investigate, require remediation, and shall impose financial chargebacks, or, in severe or repeat cases, we will terminate our business with the supplier. We immediately escalate UAS incidents, and take the following steps:•Require the unauthorized facility to immediately stop production of any Gap Inc. branded apparel. •Require all goods (finished or unfinished) be returned to a facility approved by Gap Inc., segregated and held until the issue is resolved. •Lead an investigation to look for and address any critical issues in the unauthorized facility.•Require the approved facility to register for management systems training as a preventative measure and ensure that the facility invests in systems to prevent future violation.We found three cases of UAS in 2023 and in response, fully enforced our policies, which involved financial chargebacks or business termination"
