45 Sustainability Report 2021 Climate Transition | Driving Sustainability in Our Own Business Sustainable Supply Chain Management Last year, we further enhanced our ESG requirements and controls within both our sourcing and ongoing vendor management processes, developing a suite of ESG standards for all vendors to meet. We made significant progress toward our commitment to assess 100% of vendors for ESG risk, with new risk screening criteria embedded into our vendor management platform, with the aim of identifying vendors with higher inherent ESG risks. This in turn enabled us to conduct deeper ESG assessments focused on our vendors’ controls to prevent environmental, modern slavery, and human trafficking issues. We continue to educate our vendor managers and sourcing professionals on the issue of modern slavery and human trafficking in the supply chain. Last year we invited nonprofit Hope.Inspire.Love to speak to our sourcing teams and provide a better understanding of human trafficking issues in the US, including how to spot the signs of human trafficking and how to take action against it. This year, we will continue to partner with organizations at the forefront of these issues to educate and raise awareness. CLIMATE TRANSITION
