2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Human Rights & Ethics | 276 ■ Child Labor/Forced Labor We do not employ child labor in our operations. We define child labor as work or service extracted from anyone under the age of 16, the minimum age for employment, or the age for completing education in a country, whichever is highest. We also will not knowingly engage with a supplier or distributor or enter into a joint venture with an organization that does, directly or indirectly. Similarly, we do not use forced, slave, convict, or bonded labor in our operations, and we will not work with a supplier or distributor or undertake a joint venture with an organization that employs forced labor or people trafficked into employment. Forced labor refers to any work or service not voluntarily performed and extracted from an individual under the menace of penalty or subject to unduly burdensome conditions. These include, but are not limited to, the surrender of government-issued identification, passports, or work permits, or any other limitations inhibiting the employee’s free will with respect to work. Our definitions of slave labor and bonded labor reflect the United Nations Human Rights Office’s Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions Similar to Slavery under Articles 1 and 7. Convict labor refers to any labor performed by a legally convicted person on or outside prison grounds. Where applicable, migrant workers will have the same entitlements as local employees. We follow the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines in disclosing any use of conflict minerals and in conducting reasonable country-of-origin inquiries as required by those guidelines. We also do not tolerate the use of raw materials, in any of our products, that directly or indirectly contribute to armed conflict or human rights abuses. We follow the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Owens Corning supports the participation in legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs, as long as they comply with all applicable laws and are consistent with Articles 6 and 7 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Minimum Age Convention No. 138 on vocational or technical education and light work. Issues regarding forced or child labor raised through the business code of conduct helpline are reviewed by internal audit and legal compliance. We have identified country locations where risk of forced or compulsory labor is prevalent according to U.S. State Department and EIRIS data. Leveraging an ESG risk scoring framework based on the S&P Global Rating’s ESG Risk Atlas, along with our supplier segmentation tool, we mapped both our top segmented suppliers and our own locations to identify the number of locations in higher-risk countries. This information provides a basis for continued monitoring for compliance, both in evaluating supplier risk and within our own operations. Through our annual survey, no cases of forced, compulsory, or child labor were identified or reported in 2021, nor were human rights risks discovered that required remediation. Due to the nature of the mineral mining industry, we canvass suppliers in that industry to inquire about forced labor issues. When we become aware of an issue in our supply chain, Owens Corning is committed to working with our suppliers to mitigate known or suspected risks. This remains a focus area on annual surveys.
