SUBSET OF INDICATORS

The KnowTheChain methodology assesses companies’ efforts to address forced labor risks in their supply chains. It is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and covers policy commitments, due diligence, and remedy. The methodology uses the ILO core labor standards (which cover the human rights that the ILO has declared to be fundamental rights at work: freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, and the elimination of forced labor, child labor, and discrimination) as a baseline standard.

Board Oversight

The company has tasked a board member or board committee with oversight of its supply chain policies that address forced labor and human trafficking.



Stakeholder Engagement

Local Stakeholder

In the last three years, the company has engaged relevant stakeholders by providing at least two examples of engagements on forced labor and human trafficking with stakeholders such as policy makers, worker rights organizations, or local NGOs in countries in which its first-tier suppliers and suppliers below the first tier operate.

Risk Assessment

The company discloses details on how it conducts human rights supply chain risk or impact assessments that include forced labor risks or assessments that focus specifically on forced labor risks; and details on forced labor risks identified in different tiers of its supply chains.




Purchasing Practices

The company is adopting responsible purchasing practices in the first tier of its supply chains, which include planning and forecasting; and provides procurement incentives to first-tier suppliers to encourage or reward good labor practices (such as price premiums, increased orders, and longer-term contracts).




Recruitment Fees

The company requires that no worker in its supply chains should pay for a job—the costs of recruitment (i.e., recruitment fees and related costs) should be borne not by the worker but by the employer ("Employer Pays Principle"); and takes steps to ensure that such fees are reimbursed to the workers and/or provides evidence of payment of recruitment-related fees by suppliers if it discovers that fees have been paid by workers in its supply chains.




Freedom of Association

Working with Unions

The company works with independent local or global trade unions to support freedom of association in its supply chains.

Example of Improvements

The company provides at least two examples covering different supply chain contexts of how it improved freedom of association and/or collective bargaining for its suppliers' workers such as migrant workers (e.g., by taking action where suppliers impede workers' rights to freedom of association and/or collective bargaining or by engaging policy makers to improve respect for such rights).




Grievances Mechanism

The company takes steps to ensure a formal mechanism to report a grievance to an impartial entity regarding labor conditions in the company's supply chains is available to its suppliers' workers and their legitimate representatives; and discloses data about the practical operation of the mechanism, such as the number of grievances filed, addressed, and resolved, or an evaluation of the effectiveness of the mechanism.




Remedy Programs / Responses to Allegations

If no allegation regarding forced labor in the first or lower tier of a company’s supply chains has been identified and disclosed by a third party(ies) in the last three years, the company discloses a process for responding to potential complaints and/or reported violations of policies that address forced labor and human trafficking; and at least two examples of outcomes of its remedy process in practice, covering different supply chain contexts, for its suppliers’ workers.
