Reporting section in your Annual or Sustainability report

Your document should: Demonstrate the metrics on the percentage of workers from minority or vulnerable groups at top management levels.

Top management includes all Chief Officers (CEO, CFO, CTO, etc.), all members of mid and top management (directors, VP, team leaders, etc.), and excludes
members of the board of directors.

Minority groups here are covering a wide range of groups, including characteristics such as ethnicity, religion, disability, gender identity, etc.

Vulnerable groups are those with some specific physical, social, political, or economic condition or characteristic that places them at higher risk of suffering
a burden (such as children and youth, the elderly, people with disabilities, refugees, etc).

We acknowledge that in some cases, data collection on minority or vulnerable groups is restricted in certain countries. Your company can choose the
group covered with this metrics at your own discretion.

This metrics applies to direct employees (individuals who have a direct employment relationship with your company).

Supplier sustainability code of conduct

Examples of documents to attach:

Supplier code of conduct


Annual or Sustainability report

Your document should: Demonstrate your company's communication towards suppliers, setting the expectations for suppliers to follow in order to be socially

Your document should: Demonstrate provisions or clauses in business contracts that cover sustainability issues and the management of risks of adverse impacts
in cooperation with the supplier. These issues are not directly related to the contract's subject matter but aim to set expectations for sustainability and due

These clauses contractually bind suppliers to abide by their requirements and usually contain disciplinary sanctions in case of a breach of contract, including
termination.

Risk assessment of adverse sustainability impacts in the supply chain

Examples of documents to attach:

Work instructions on supply chain risk assessments


Internal supply chain risk assessment documents
Supplier's sustainability risk assessment documents

Your document should: Demonstrate a process for identifying the most significant risks of adverse sustainability impacts in the supply chain and among
suppliers. Adverse sustainability impacts include negative effects on individuals, workers, communities, and the environment related to disclosure, human rights,
employment, bribery, and consumer interests. The process should assess the nature and extent of actual and potential impacts along the supply chain,
incorporating relevant sustainability information from stakeholders and rights-holders, and prioritize risks based on severity and likelihood.

The result of this risk assessment could serve as a reference point for the company to consider whether further action should be taken on a particular supplier,
product, or purchasing category (such as assessments and audits).
