Grievance Mechanism Assessment for a Global Retailer

computer user system scaled 1

Situation

A global retailer commissioned us to analyse and improve their system for staff and third-parties to raise complaints, in line with regulatory requirements and best practice.

Solution

We reviewed policies on grievance processes, analysed complaints data, and interviewed relevant staff. Additionally, we evaluated the grievance mechanism against requirements in the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) and benchmarked it against key competitors.

Impact

Our team of Strategy Development and Advisory experts provided three tiers of recommendations, detailing how the company should align the mechanism with LkSG minimum standards, German government guidance, and best practice.

We are the world’s leading purpose driven, digitally enabled, science-based activator. And always welcome inquiries and partnerships to drive positive change together.
