Page 3 of the MSA Transparency Statement:

- "We regularly assess our manufacturing partners on their ability to provide fair, healthy, and environmentally sound workplace conditions by conducting announced and unannounced audits through our own team and accredited external auditors. Such audits evaluate a supplier’s compliance with our Workplace Standards, which include a prohibition against the use of any form of forced labour, child labour or human trafficking."

- "Responses received through the ‘Workers Voice’ platform are carefully tracked by adidas, using KPIs and dashboard reviews, case satisfaction ratings and on-site worker interviews."

(The use of the term "audit" is unclear - it may mean desktop and on-site, or it may just mean on-site. Because the term "audit" was used, I've clicked all options.)

'We also developed a standardized template aligned with the International Labour Organization (ILO) indicators of forced labour to map and track the risk of forced labour in our supplier facilities. This template has been integrated into the Fair Factories Clearinghouse (FFC), a shared industry audit data platform, to support ongoing monitoring of forced labour risks in our supply chain.' - 7 (Appendix A pg 2)

I agree with the above comment with respect to the term "audit" and choice of answers, statement appears to indicate both internal and external on-site visits and other forms of "audits".

There is no evidence of onsite third party audit. Hence, not considered.
