For example, through these processes, we have identified potential human rights risks, including: protecting the health and safety of our associates and contractors, addressing modern slavery in the supply chain and preventing, minimizing and eliminating waste contamination in the environment.
Ongoing potential risk identification and mitigation in occupational health and safety is critical to our “safety first” culture.
Focus on continuous improvement in this area is described in Occupational Health and Safety.
