Risks

Prioritisation of risks (2024)

Every year we carry out a comprehensive risk assessment for countries and for suppliers. Risks have been prioritised. Action plans for improvement were drawn up in consultation with the relevant stakeholders.

The majority of our purchases are made from business partners based in:

  • Faisalabad (Pakistan)
  • Karachi (Pakistan)
  • Denizli (Turkey)

Prioritization of the identified risks

Risk 1: Vulnerable groups:

1. Women:

  • Gender Equality
  • Health and Safety

2. Children and young workers:

  • Child Labor prevention
  • Working hours.

3. (Ethnic) minorities:

  • Cultural sensitivity
  • Equal opportunities

Specific in our business area:

  • Turkey: Syrian refugees
  • Pakistan: religious minorities

Measurements to improve social impact: Working together with selected business partners. Selection is based on various criteria (risk analysis of supplier - recognised certifications - regular audits by recognised bodies and local agents - …)


Goal: Creating an inclusive and safe working environment for all vulnerable groups


Risk 2: Fair wages

Measurements to improve social impact
  1. accurately identify analysis of wage gap vis-à-vis living wage.
  2. initiate a process to gradually close this wage gap and achieve a living wage
Goal: workers and their families have a decent standard of living

Risk 3: employee involvement:
grievance procedure

Measurements to improve social impact:
  1. action plan per supplier on the implementation of the grievance procedure
