Kern van de disclosure
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain whether it has policies that set out how it manages impacts, risks and opportunities affecting its own workforce. In practice, the report should make clear what policy coverage exists, what topics it covers, and whether those policies apply across the whole workforce or only to certain groups, locations or business units.
The practical focus is on completeness and consistency: readers should be able to see if the organisation has a joined-up approach for employees and other workers in its own operations, rather than a policy that exists only on paper or only at flagship sites. It is also useful to show where policies differ by geography, contract type or role, and how the organisation ensures they are actually applied in day-to-day management.

Hoe u dit voorbereidt
De gegevens opvragen
Request the workforce policy details
Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.
Which people policy applies to our workforce, and what does it cover?
Use your organisation’s own policy names and people-team language first, then map them to the disclosure fields. Do not ask for the framework labels in the first instance; ask for the internal policy record, the groups it covers, and the stated aims. Check the source material before sign-off.
Zwak verzoek
Please provide the ESRS S1:S1-1 policy disclosures for own workforce, including the policy name, scope, workforce segments, objectives, and whether it covers forced labour, child labour, and trafficking.
Waarom dit misgaat: This uses framework language first, which can slow down the response and create translation errors. It also does not point the owner to the internal policy record, the usual document name, or the business groups they actually manage.
Beter verzoek
Please send the current people policy record for our workforce: the policy title and version, who it applies to, which worker groups and business areas it covers, its main aims, and whether it addresses forced labour, child labour, and trafficking. Include the document location and review date. We will map your internal terms to the reporting fields afterwards.

Methodenotitie
We based this draft on the organisation’s named policy, the worker groups it is meant to cover, the workforce segments included, and the stated aims, using the collected yes/no flags for the three labour-related risk topics.
Contextnotitie
These figures show the organisation’s formal coverage of labour-related risks and which parts of the workforce the policy is intended to reach, rather than evidence of incidents or outcomes.
Toelichting op schommelingen
If the coverage or stated aims changed from the prior period, the reporter can explain that the shift reflects a revised policy scope, a broader or narrower set of worker groups, or updated objectives.

Assurance-gereedheid
Controleer bij elke bewering het bewijs
| Bewering | Risico | Te controleren bewijs |
|---|---|---|
| We updated the policy set during the year and can show what changed, when it changed, and who approved it. | An assurer will test whether the reported change is real, dated, and limited to the period claimed, rather than a later edit or a general statement of intent. | Version history, redline or tracked-change copies, approval papers, board or management minutes, publication dates, and the final issued policy text. |
| We took account of views from the people affected when shaping the policy content. | An assurer will probe whether stakeholder input was actually considered, or whether the statement is unsupported or based on a narrow internal view only. | Consultation notes, meeting records, survey outputs, grievance or worker-feedback summaries, analysis showing how feedback influenced the policy, and sign-off papers. |
| We can point to the policy sections that set out its purpose, what it covers, what it leaves out, and which groups it is meant to protect. | An assurer will check whether the policy really contains those elements and whether the disclosed scope matches the underlying document without overstating coverage. | The policy document itself, scope statements, exclusion clauses, mapping to affected groups, and internal review notes confirming the disclosed summary. |
| We have identified each relevant policy and can show the main rules it contains, the aim it is meant to achieve, and the material issues it is linked to. | An assurer will test whether the disclosure is complete, whether the policy descriptions are accurate, and whether the link to material issues is evidenced rather than inferred. | Policy register, policy texts, materiality or impact assessment papers, cross-reference matrix, and review/approval records. |
| Where a policy refers to outside principles or initiatives, we have the source documents and can show the exact commitments we made. | An assurer will check that any external reference is specific, current, and not overstated, and that the policy really commits to it. | Policy wording, copies or links to the referenced principles or initiatives, legal or sustainability review notes, and approval evidence. |
| We can show the overarching rights policy, where it sits in the policy set, and which groups it is intended to cover. | An assurer will probe whether the policy exists as described, whether the coverage statement is consistent across documents, and whether the named groups are supported by the source material. | Policy hierarchy documents, the overarching policy text, scope and audience statements, group definitions, and sign-off records. |

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.
We maintain a modern slavery and labour-rights policy that applies to our own staff and to contractors, agency workers and other business partners in our supply chain. It covers production, warehousing, logistics and procurement teams, and its aim is to prevent exploitative recruitment, protect younger workers and strengthen oversight of high-risk sourcing.
- In the reporting period, we did not identify any forced labour, child labour or trafficking cases in our operations or value chain.
- The policy is applied across employees and non-employees, with coverage for permanent staff, temporary workers, agency labour, transport providers and key suppliers.
This synthetic example shows how to describe the policy, who it applies to, which parts of the workforce it reaches, and the three labour-exploitation flags in a concise narrative form.
Our code on fair work and responsible sourcing sets the rules for our own people and for selected external workers who support software delivery, data operations and facilities management. It is designed to reduce the risk of coercive recruitment, stop under-age work and trafficking, and improve checks on labour practices in higher-risk service contracts.
- During the period, we recorded no confirmed instances of forced labour, child labour or trafficking.
- The coverage extends to employees and non-employees, including full-time staff, fixed-term staff, contractors, outsourced support teams and on-site service providers.
This synthetic example uses a different sector and wording while still covering the policy title, who is in scope, which worker groups are included, the policy aims, and the three yes/no labour-risk indicators.

Scenario’s om door te werken
A group HR lead is drafting the people policy summary for the annual report. The document covers permanent staff and agency workers, but the draft title only mentions employees, and the team has not yet checked whether the wording matches the actual policy scope.
A preparer has one internal code of conduct for all staff, but separate contractor rules sit in a procurement folder. They are unsure whether the disclosure should mention only the staff code or also the contractor rules when describing the workforce covered.
The sustainability team has a draft policy that bans forced labour and child labour, but the section on trafficking is still being reviewed by legal. The team wonders whether they can leave trafficking out for now and add it later if the wording is finalised before publication.
A company has a broad human rights policy for its own workforce, but the report draft only says it promotes fair treatment and safe working conditions. The team has not yet stated what the policy is trying to achieve for workers or how it links to the labour-abuse topics.

FAQ
Vragen die deze pagina beantwoordt
Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the listed datapoints. The page also gives draft-output prompts, so you can turn the collected information into a first-pass narrative and content line.
The page says to prepare the forced labour, child labour and trafficking flags, plus the policy title, policy coverage group, covered workforce groups and policy aims. Use those items as your minimum data set before drafting.
Use the page’s coverage fields to set scope in practice: policy coverage group and covered workforce groups. That helps you show which parts of the workforce the policy applies to before you draft the disclosure.
The page is designed for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can confirm the policy details and workforce coverage. The workbook and evidence pack are there to support that handover and review.
The page includes six assurance claims to verify and an evidence pack with five items for assurance readiness. Use those to build a file that links each claim to the supporting source material before review.
The page has a section on common reporting gaps and mistakes, so use that as a pre-submission check. It is especially useful for spotting missing datapoints, unclear scope, or weak evidence before you finalise the draft.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the required datapoints, track the assurance claims and evidence, and move from raw inputs to a draft disclosure.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is useful as a quick reference while you gather data, check the preparation steps, and review the draft output.
Yes, it includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table. Treat them as examples of structure and presentation only, and make sure any real draft stays consistent with your own data.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. Use those prompts to convert the prepared datapoints into a clear first draft and a simple index reference.
