We have a programme to achieve this because:
- From experience we know that labour laws are not always fully enforced
- In any case, some countries do not have as strong laws as others
- International standards bridge any gaps and ensure a level playing field for suppliers
- Identifying workplace problems early allows resolution before an issue escalates
- A well-managed workforce enables good quality and efficiency, so we want to support
suppliers to achieve and maintain this
- We can reassure customers that working conditions across our supply chain are
continually improving
