The company expects its business partner to undertake due diligence process to identify and assess actual or potential adverse human rights impacts. Also, it states that it carries out human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) through independent expert firms like Shift, Impact, and Arche Advisors, who visit a sample of its own operations, suppliers, and other business partners and also identify issues that go unseen during a third-party audit. Further, it states that it assesses risk geographically for both its own operations and extended supply chain and considers a variety of factors, including the views of the local leadership team, its business integrity committees, and internal functional experts, as well as external country-level human rights risk indicators like those provided by the risk organisation Verisk Maplecroft. Additionally, it states that it verifies alignment and achievement of its Responsible Partner Policy (RPP’s) mandatory requirements and mandatory management systems through the use of self-declarations, due diligence scanning, online assessments, and independent verification by third-party audits in high-risk sites.
