SUMMARY
Loblaw Companies Ltd. (Loblaw), Canada’s biggest food retailer, ranks 35th out of 43 companies and discloses less information on its forced labor policies and practices than its peers. Since 2018, the company does not seem to have taken additional steps to strengthen its performance and disclosure. As the benchmark methodology requires companies to keep up with evolving stakeholder expectations and emerging good practices, the company’s score has decreased by six points. The company’s score is based on its disclosure of a supplier code of conduct that prohibits forced labor, some information on board-level oversight of its policies, supply chain traceability and the use of certifications for some commodities, and supplier monitoring. The company is encouraged to improve on the themes of Commitment & Governance, Traceability & Risk Assessment, and Worker Voice.
