To support collective worker empowerment, the company works with suppliers to improve their practices in relation to freedom of association and collective bargaining, and with local or global trade unions to support freedom of association in its supply chains. Where there are regulatory constraints on freedom of association, the company ensures workplace environments in which workers are able to pursue alternative forms of organizing.
