Impact of human rights risks
on the Company’s strategy and business model
CHRB A.2.4
When social aspects of operations, including
those related to human rights, pose significant risks or have implications
for the Company’s operational resilience and business reputation, corporate
governance bodies may initiate adjustments to the corporate strategy and,
in some cases, even to the Company’s business model and production chain.
The revision process may be initiated
either by management, with proposals developed and submitted to the Board
of Directors for approval, or by the Board of Directors, which
may issue proposals as formal recommendations for subsequent implementation
by management.
