Page 11: "we investigated immediately and took action to work with suppliers on appropriate remediation, including reviewing supplier policies and training in relation to harassment, as well as providing corresponding remedies for affected supplier employees."

 

Page 10: "Achieving progress requires strong processes to hold suppliers accountable, address violations when they are discovered, and validate that corrective actions have been completed. We call these processes Corrective Action Plans (“CAPs”) and Corrective Action Verifications (“CAVs”)."

 

Page 6: "Any violations of our policies carry immediate consequences, up to and including termination of our business relationship with a supplier."

Worker remediation:

 

p. 11: When we discover debt-bonded labor, we require suppliers to provide direct remedy to affected workers. In 2022, $1 million in recruitment fees resulting from 2021 violations were repaid to over 380 people. From 2008 through 2022, our suppliers have directly repaid $34.2 million in recruitment fees to over 37,700 of their employees
