Comment Constituency Region Reporting Relationship Corporations that source products from developing countries are well positioned to provide oversight and support for their suppliers to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of supplier workers. The indicators proposed by the Center for Safety and Health Sustainability would encourage reporters to audit their suppliers, thereby helping to promote proactive safety measures and saving lives in the long run. We support efforts to expand the supply chain disclosures to include procurement practices, screening/assessments and remediation. However, I think these new core disclosures (G1-4) will be very difficult and burdensome for companies with complex supply chains to manage. This adds a layer of complexity to reporting and may make it difficult to be "in accordance" with the GRI. The importance of better indicators geared toward improving conditions in the supply chain cannot be overstated. Workers for suppliers in the developing world are especially vulnerable to occupational safety and health risks. This is a function of weak governmental regulation, poor management systems, lack of enforcement by governments or oversight by the corporations that purchase products or services from the suppliers, less educated and sometimes illiterate workers, and inadequate training and supervision. Basic safety and health measures and investments are often bypassed, and employees frequently lack the basic knowledge required to be proactive about their own safety. The ILO has reported that the work-related mortality rate in developing countries is five to seven times higher than in industrialized nations. ILO research also found that while accidents and illnesses are decreasing in the developed world, both are increasing in the developing world. Corporations that source products from developing countries are well positioned to provide oversight and support for their suppliers to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of supplier workers. The indicators proposed by the Center for Safety and Health Sustainability would encourage reporters to audit their suppliers, thereby helping to promote proactive safety measures and saving lives in the long run. We want business to change and recognise the supply chain and SME's. What is proposed will be hard to implement but GRI should stick with it as there are many companies that exist and already display these levels of knowledge on their supply chain. Why has "significant" been removed as a modifier for "supplier"? Surely it is not proposed that we review all of our >10,000 suppliers for materiality? Civil Society Organization Mediating Institution Business Northern America Europe Northern America Report Reader Reporter Consultant Report Reader GRI Certified Training Partner Reporter Also, we have a number of concerns related to the indicators requesting information on grievances. Please see specific comments in Document Review Section. Worker Health as defined more broadly than occupational health and safety or concern about “serious diseases.” Possible new indicators include the percentage of workers that have access to onsite health professional trained in prevention and diseases; the number of major suppliers that have health clinics and/or health providers on site. Human rights language does not address accepted human rights standards that are in the Convention on Ending Discrimination on Women in all forms. Yes. Since the Draft G4 Guidance implies detailed information disclosure on an organization’s supply chain management, I believe it rational providing an option to disclose most of information on significant suppliers, not on all of them.
