P31 Our engagement on grievance mechanisms to address GBVH includes strengthening workplace committees as formal mechanisms through which issues can be reported, investigated and remediated. This includes projects to support GBHV committees in India and Bangladesh

Additionally, page 31 - Where possible, we seek to support workers to access these mechanisms, often by raising worker awareness of mechanisms to build understanding and trust among workers. In addition to support, we also invest in an existing grievance mechanism or design additional independent mechanisms in partnership with experts. These include the Occupational Safety and Health Complaints Mechanism of the Accord (Bangladesh), Amader Kotha Hotline (Bangladesh), the ACT Interim Dispute Resolution Mechanism (Bangladesh), and ISCSI Destek Worker Support Centre (Turkey).

Did you see evidence of whistleblower protections for the supply chain workers in addition to direct employees?
