Summary

While Loblaw discloses more information about its channels and grievance mechanisms for both its own employees and external individuals, it has an opportunity to make a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment. Additionally, the company can enhance its policies by introducing a global primary caregiver leave policy, aligning with the ILO standards of at least 14 weeks. Similarly, adopting a global secondary caregiver leave policy in line with ILO standards of at least 2 weeks would be beneficial.
