Termination of cooperation with a supplier may occur if a zero tolerance issue reveals (child labor, serious health and safety risks, substitution of subcontractor without prior approval and refusal to be audited) are detected, but if we identify non-compliances, we prefer to develop an action plan in order to bring the supplier back to an acceptable standard, rather than to end our cooperation. During 2018 one zero-tolerance incident has been reported. The infring- ment relates to ”Unethical Business Behaviour” during audit at one of our suppliers in China. SR p.30 GRI 41
