"Our company’s overarching salient issues, including the risk of forced labour and child labour, form the basis for our ongoing analysis of human rights risk across our operations and supply chains. We apply this analysis to different situations and contexts to inform a risk-based approach that helps us prioritise our efforts and adjust actions. Our methodology to identify heightened risk combines: country risk indicators, from sources such as Maplecroft; sector or process risk; risk indicators relating to business model set-up; and our current understanding of the presence of vulnerable groups within a specific country or region. We involve our colleagues in the process for qualitative input and to create accountability."

"Risk assessment by business functions.

For business functions where we are aware of a heightened risk linked to publicly available information, we assess human rights risk and impacts down to country level on a regular basis to inform prevention and mitigation plans. We undertake consolidated yearly risk reporting for construction, facility management and warehouse operations to support internal reporting and oversight. In 2022, we added transport (truck and last-mile operations) to the annual risk assessment. We also updated our survey for all our transport providers to include social and human rights profiles, alongside due diligence and risk questions. The first consolidated results from the updated survey are expected in spring 2023.

"— Materials risk assessment. In 2016, we strengthened the risk assessment we conduct on the materials used in our products to more comprehensively integrate the associated risks to human rights. This assessment is conducted for new materials and on a regular basis for our major materials. In 2022, we engaged with external standards holders to inform their evolving standards, with a focus on both environmental and social aspects."

"We are aware that some recruitment fees will be more difficult to identify and might even have occurred before the worker started at their current workplace, which is why we are also developing a risk identification tool, which will allow us to pinpoint where there might be higher risk of recruitment fees or forced labour to inform us where to investigate further."
