"The Partnership requires audits and risk assessments to demonstrate compliance with our RSCOP, focused on our highrisk supply chains first and those where we can have a direct impact. They ensure the required standards within our supply chains are upheld and highlight where improvements can be made."

"As outlined in this report, the RSCOP is the first point in a continuous improvement journey for our suppliers and their supply chains. The Partnership regularly consults with internal and external stakeholders on strengthening our approach to improving the human rights of workers in our supply chains. Recognising risk assessment and ethical audit limitations, we are always horizon-scanning to ensure we capture any new issues that arise and take the appropriate action required."
