The policies cover direct and indirect adverse impacts on human rights and the environment.

• The policies commit and refer to following the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct. References and commitments to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises or UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights are also acceptable.

• Oversight and responsibility for these policies and their implementation is assigned to senior management.

• The policies and its expectations are specified in engagement with suppliers and other business relationships, including contracts and other written agreements. A potential tool for compliance is to have a supplier code of conduct in place.

• Compliance with national and/or regional laws (or relevant certification standards) in relation to Human Rights, Worker Rights & Conditions, Health & Safety

• Compliance with national and/or regional laws (or relevant certification standards) in relation to Environmental protection, Deforestation, Biodiversity, Waste and Wastewater management

• Traceability and Accounting of certified and conventional volumes

• A grievance mechanism as specified in requirement 1.5.1
