Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing
0
No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles for any of the Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing KPIs. The articles primarily discuss the company's compliance with conflict minerals reporting requirements for the periods of 2014 and 2022, including efforts to collect information from suppliers using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

However, the articles explicitly state that the company was 'Unable to determine the country of origin of conflict minerals due to insufficient supplier information'

and acknowledged 'significant data gaps in determining the country of origin of conflict minerals due to incomplete responses from suppliers.'

This indicates that even for the suppliers who responded, traceable provenance data was not fully established, and therefore, this information does not meet the requirements for the 'traceability_coverage' KPI. No data was provided on fair-trade certified spend, audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage in contracts, share of spend on high-risk materials, or supplier diversity spend.
