Risk-based questionnaires: "Our Workforce Engagement Program opens communication channels for workers to safely and anonymously share feedback with management and contributes to an enabling environment to improve worker-management relationships to drive facility improvements. The program allows us to assess facility performance based on the data we receive directly from workers through surveys and interviews" (6).

 

Use of risk management tool or software, "We also understand that there are human rights risks in our raw materials supply chain and are working diligently to manage these risks, which can include country of origin declarations from suppliers, using fiber-tracing technologies, and collecting documents that provide visibility into the flow of cotton and other materials that may enter our supply chain" (4).

 

Conducting desk research including information from third parties/NGO's: "Gap Inc. works with governments, NGOs, and trade unions, and monitors resources – such as the U.S. Department of State’s Trafficking in Persons Annual Report and the Global Slavery Index – to identify high-risk areas in our supply chain" (4).
