The management of human resources and working
conditions is a key element of a company's sustainability
strategy. Companies are expected to put in place a
transparent policy that confirms that these issues are
identified and managed in an exemplary manner.

to employees of supply chain companies, often located in
emerging economies. This requires companies to
establish a clear strategy for dealing with these issues,
including the establishment of a specific code of conduct
for their suppliers. To ensure that these measures are
implemented, companies should conduct regular audits
of their suppliers. The objectives of the dialogue can be
described as follows:
• Transparent policy on workers' rights.
• Publication of human resources indicators (accidents,
fatalities, turnover, diversity, satisfaction, etc.)
satisfaction, etc.).
• Publication of a code of conduct for suppliers.
• Establishment of a due diligence process, particularly
about human rights issues.
• Introduction of a living wage in supply chains.
