"To improve conditions in global supply chains, you need to get the most accurate picture possible, putting people at the center. Thus we consider it essential to include the perspective of affected rightsholders and to listen to their grievances. Many of these issues can only be solved through collective action. Sector-wide collaboration between different supply chain actors is therefore imperative"

"We believe that no single retailer has the power to tackle all of the human rights and environmental issues in the supply chain alone. This is a shared responsibility, and we are proud to be part of the appellando initiative and helping to ensure that our collective energy is channelled into granting access to effective remedy for the rightsholders."
