"We place specific requirements on all our business partners, and they are required to sign and implement our Sustainability Commitment. The commitment states that: “Forced, bonded, prison and illegal labour are not accepted”. It includes requirements related to written policies and routines, special consideration for vulnerable categories such as migrant workers, no restriction of movement, employers’ responsibility for payment of recruitment fees and voluntary overtime. Our updated Sustainability Commitment also requires our suppliers and business partners to ensure grievance mechanisms are in place in their operations and to actively engage in remediation processes."

"In 2022, we also reviewed and updated our guidelines on child labour risks and remediation and rolled out supporting training to internal teams and key suppliers."

"— In production markets, we work to ensure that migrant workers are entitled to the same social benefits as local employees. In 2019 we also entered a collaboration with IOM and launched our Migrant Workers Fair Recruitment and Treatment Guidelines.

— In 2019, we joined the TENT initiative, with a commitment to increase the formal employment and inclusion of refugees in our Turkey supply chain to 2,000 (cumulatively) by 2025."

"Apply the learning from our work in our production supply chain together with IOM to establish action plans to protect and ensure fair recruitment of migrant workers in selected service supply chains using a risk-based approach — delayed from 2022."
