"OUR STANDARDS
We manage risks and impacts related to Modern Slavery as part of our existing programme on labour rights, ethical trade and human rights.
Kering’s approach to responsibility with regard to stakeholders is shaped by the principles set out in its Code of Ethics, and by a strong determination to implement these principles internally and externally. The Code of Ethics, which includes the Suppliers’ Charter, setting out what is expected of all Kering suppliers, forms the cornerstone of the commitment taken by Kering, its Houses and its suppliers, especially with regard to human rights, fundamental freedoms, human health and safety, and the environment. Suppliers are required to abide by these principles themselves and to extend these requirements to their own suppliers and subcontractors. Following the 2018 update to the Code of Ethics, the document was reissued to all employees worldwide in 2019. This update reaffirmed Kering’s commitment to apply all major international conventions in the pursuit of its activities, and to strengthen and clarify its requirements, especially with regard to human rights and fundamental freedoms, to health and safety and to the environment. For example, the Suppliers’ Charter now includes a requirement to pay special attention to categories of workers, such as migrants, who are vulnerable to exploitation. The Code of Ethics and the Suppliers’ Charter have been translated into the 14 most widely spoken languages within the Group.
The human rights policy, published in 2021, aims at defining the means by which the Group can ensure its commitments on human rights and fundamental freedoms, health and safety, and the environment are fulfilled. It sets out the fundamental principles of human rights and outline the Group’s policies that go together to form Kering’s commitments on the matter.
Kering has significantly developed its sustainability strategy over the last 20 years. In 2017 we published our 2025 sustainability strategy which is based on three pillars – environmental, social and innovation – and which sets ambitious targets for all of the Houses which are part of the group. Our Sustainability Principles established for all the Luxury Houses in 2015 span human rights and fundamental freedoms which include the elimination of child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking in all its forms. The Sustainability Principles are applicable across all Houses."
" TAKING ACTION
Supplier non-compliances are classified into four categories, with standard response for each:Anomalies are classified into the following categories and there are standard responses to each case:
• Zero tolerance breaches (relating to the most serious situations liable to be encountered, specifically child labour, forced labour, irregular work, undeclared subcontractors, threats, discrimination, serious breaches of regulations, counterfeiting, etc.)"p.13
The section on "OUR STANDARDS" is a bit vague... You would expect the term modern slavery here but it seems to be replaced by "human rights and fundamental freedoms" which, from a legal perspective, I believe, is not the same..
Agree- but subcategories don't include modern slavery component so I've included these
