About the data
Methodology
In this question you are being asked to identify whether the company publicly discloses how they engage with workers/producers/farmers, trade unions and any other affected stakeholders in the development and implementation of remediation/corrective action plans. Start by looking for information about what brands expect suppliers to do to fix problems found during audits and then look whether they detail whether stakeholders are involved.
Where to look for this information:
- Corporate Social Responsibility report
- In Modern Slavery Statement or California Transparency Act disclosure
- 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:
- Non-compliance
- Remediation
- Corrective action plans (CAPs)
- Stakeholders e.g. workers, producers, farmers and trade unions
Things to keep in mind:
- We are looking for evidence that stakeholders have been consulted in the creation of the remediation plan and implementation process
