To ensure human rights in the countries where our suppliers are active, regular dialogue with suppliers and close cooperation with relevant interest groups is required. For own operations we have HR-policies that covers occupational health and safety, as well as employee wellbeing. To cultivate and maintain a safe working environment, we perform continuous risk assessments. We support the right to freedom of association for all our employees as stated and we have collective bargaining agreements for all employees.

    These issues are all adressed in our Code of Conduct and monitored regularly through recurring audits. Through the audit results a plan for continuous improvements for identified gaps are set by the supplier and discussed with us. Unless a gap is based on a zero-tolerance violation (during 2021 no zero-tolerance cases where reported) the system is built on capacity building focus, which means that the plan for continuous improvements should cover areas that are compliant but where gaps have been identified. Any detected zero-tolerance cases requires immediate action, according to Label STEP’s and amfori BSCI’s protocol for zero tolerance.
