and reports to the Chief Sustainability and Global Impact Officer. The Director of Global Impact Operations Integration also oversees the Human Rights Integration Team, a cross-functional team advancing General Mills’ work on human rights. The Global Responsible Sourcing program has a dedicated team and is part of our Global Sourcing Operations and Capabilities (GSOC) group. GSOC reports to the Chief Procurement Officer and is focused on integrating key capabilities into sourcing processes for General Mills globally. Risk assessment: Our approach to human rights is informed by an assessment conducted in 2020 by Shift , the leading center of expertise on the UNGPs, of practices across our business operations and supply chain according to the UNGPs in combination with our ongoing Global Responsible Sourcing risk assessments. We have defined our focus as the most salient issues in our value chain — those issues where our impact to people is greatest — by examining the relative severity and likelihood of each issue. Among our most salient human rights issues, we have identified forced labor and child labor in our agricultural supply chain as our highest priorities for action. While we seek to address all potential risks, this salient- issues lens informs our strategy. Due diligence: We have put in place a range of due diligence measures for our own operations and supply chains. These measures include audits conducted as part of our Global Responsible Sourcing program, which uses the four-pillar Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) protocol or mutually recognized audits to assess our supply chain on social and environmental practices. We recognize our policies and programs may not prevent all adverse impacts in our value chain. Our aim is to provide effective responses where we find impacts directly linked to our business operations. We have in place a variety of mechanisms to allow employees, stakeholders and other potentially affected individuals to raise grievances, such as our Ethics Line .

Some of the raw materials and ingredients General Mills sources for use in our products are recognized as posing a higher risk of negative human rights impact due to their growing regions and production methods. We are conscious of this impact — such as for cocoa, vanilla, palm oil, seafood and sugarcane.
