p. 9: "audit results at our manufacturing facilities and prioritized supplier facilities using the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) protocol under the Program for Responsible Sourcing (PROGRESS);

100% of our manufacturing sites were independently audited following a three-year cycle, using the SMETA protocol, which includes forced labour risk indicators

We met our targets on audits of prioritised tier 1 supplier; 100% of 2019 and 2020's highest priority suppliers completed a SMETA audit

We conducted comprehensive Human Rights Impact Assessments in plants located in certain countries in 2020, and are working on integrating the learnings into our global practices in 2021"
