Page 6: "In 2021, 46 buyers across the three business activities were trained by the company’s responsible sourcing expert auditors on assessing major health and safety, human rights or environmental risks during their supplier on-site site visits."

Page 10: "The auditors regularly exchange information to ensure consistency in their audit approach and risk ranking and to share lessons learned from on-site audit visits. "

 

Thus, I have included on-site visits (self-reporting)

 

Page 9-10: "Chanel’s Responsible Sourcing Expert Team (ReSET) is responsible for auditing its suppliers’ compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, working with the internal Legal and Compliance teams in terms of risk assessment, as well as with the standards outlined in Chanel’s Responsible Procurement Policy.

10 ReSET comprises of a mix of internal auditors and external auditors to ensure geographic coverage, the respect of cultural and supplier contexts, and continuity of activities. ReSET is also supported by external partners who provide expertise on country-specific regulations and local sustainability issues. The auditors regularly exchange information to ensure consistency in their audit approach and risk ranking and to share lessons learned from on-site audit visits."

 

Since ReSET consists of both internal and external auditors, I have included independent in addition to self-reporting.

“ Internal audit and supplier sustainability auditing methodology, program of work and action plan follow-up are reported to the Audit Committee, a sub-committee of the Board.”

The only guidance was remote while third parties conducted onsite audits.

pg. 11

"ReSET reacted to this context by adapting and developing new methodologies that worked effectively within the new operating conditions, such as piloting remote audits, during which a member of ReSET virtually guided an on-site third-party auditor in real-time."
