About the data
Methodology
In this question you are being asked to identify for which facility-level(s) the company publishes selected audit findings. Start by looking at whether the company discloses selected audit findings (e.g. at factories, processing facilities, and farms) or look for evidence of work with ILO Better Work or Bangladesh Accord.
Where to look for this information:
- Corporate Social Responsibility report
- In Modern Slavery Statement or California Transparency Act disclosure
- Corporate Social Responsibility report
- Company documents
- Company policies
- Company websites
- Company code of conduct
- Parent company documents (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company policies (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company websites (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
- Parent company code of conduct (only if the parent company is linked to from the brands website)
Good keywords for your searches include:
- Audit
- Supplier Compliance
- Social Compliance
- Assessment
- Monitoring
- Measurement or Performance Standards
- Bangladesh Accord
- Transition Accord
- ILO Better Work
Things to watch out for:
- Where brands are publishing tier one supplier list in Section 3 and are members of the Bangladesh/Transition Accord or part of the ILO Better Work programme, and the Accord/Better Work is linked to from the brand's own website, then they should receive these points. This is because you could technically cross-reference their list with the Accord inspection reports or BW compliance reports for specific factories.
- There must be a link to Bangladesh Accord or Better Work from the brand's website
- ILO Better Work only applies to Tier 1 level
- Bangladesh Accord applies to Tier 1 level and Beyond Tier 1 level
- Bangladesh Alliance no longer counts as it has ceased operations.
