Act ethically
The company possesses an anti-bribery and corruption identification process, though it lacks public detail. While a mechanism for raising related concerns exists, its accessibility to all stakeholders and the option for anonymity in complaints are ambiguous. Despite addressing lobbying and political engagement within its Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy, formalization through a dedicated public policy document is advisable.

Respect human rights
The company has room for enhancement in its disclosure concerning human rights, including revealing the outcomes of its risk assessments and elaborating on its process for identifying risks and impacts in distinct areas or activities, both in its operations and supply chain. While it commits to respecting specific workers’ rights in a public policy statement, it could expand this to reference all ILO fundamental rights and extend this expectation to its suppliers. Furthermore, there’s an opportunity to clarify its approach towards managing salient human rights issues globally, ensuring preventive and mitigative actions are transparently communicated.
