SALIENT RISKS: MITIGATION & IMPROVEMENTS

The most prevalent non-conformance findings reported in the above audits are excessive overtime hours worked, and variations in payments of workers’ social insurances by factories. We have ongoing projects operating which are focused on gaining responsible improvements across these areas, including closing of non-conformances within set timelines set out in each audit.

OUR RISKS ASSESSMENTS PROGRAM OUTLINED

Our most recent Country and Sector Risk Analysis provides us with a breakdown of all risks where we use our resources and teamwork to monitor at all times whilst working with our Supply Chain Partners to implement mitigation programs.

Our most recent Gender Data Report provides us with information covering gender across our Supply Chain which enables us to review female participation and monitor improvements.

Our recent Calculated Risk Assessment Matrix gives us the ability to track and highlight a wide range of risks with our Supply Chain Partners factories and where results and improvement programs are agreed and actioned.
