Engagement type One-to-one

Our engagement

When the opportunity came to engage with a large global luggage producer, we initiated discussions about non-disclosure of human rights in the supply chain, and no disclosure on sustainable sourcing.

The outcome

The supplier increased disclosure in its Sustainability Reporting and updated its supplier ratings system.
