All of our Commercial Associates are expected to take our Responsible Sourcing training course –content includes our human rights standards and expectations of our suppliers, including with regard to forced labor.6
Our goal is to work with partners who share our principles-based approach to business. We expect our first-tier suppliers to respect human rights in their workplaces. In 2011 we developed our Supplier Code of Conduct,which describes our human rights expectations of all first-tier suppliers and prohibits forced labor, and we initiated our Responsible Sourcing program. We expect our suppliers to align with our Code, affirming their commitment to uphold it or demonstrating an equivalent policy of their own. As part of our commitment to building supplier capability, we periodically engage suppliers in human rights dialogue, awareness raising and training to drive continuous improvements.6
Our Practitioner’s Guide to Human Rights in Sustainable Sourcing contains detailed guidance on activating our CARE Framework and developing human rights action plans, including elements related to forced labor. Tailored training is provided to relevant teams internally.6
