How we do we engage with trade unions?
In our supply chain, we require that freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are respected, in line with ILO requirements:
1. Workers, without distinction, have the right to join or form trade unions of their own
choosing and to bargain collectively.
2. The employer adopts an open attitude towards the activities of trade unions and their
organisational activities.
3. Workers representatives are not discriminated against and have access to carry out their
representative functions in the workplace.
4. Where the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining is restricted under law,
the employer facilitates, and does not hinder, the development of parallel means for
independent and free association and bargaining.
In the UK, we consult with employees on important topics.
