Will my company become ineligible if I answer “yes” to any question?
No. Ineligible industries are covered by Foundation Requirement 1.2. Foundation Requirement 3.1 can only result in the additional due diligence expectations explained in this article.
When do I have to meet the added requirements?
The added requirements are met by the Year stated in the specific sub-requirement. For example, if the company has to create a human rights strategy (HR2.3) then it does so by Year 3. The applicable Year never changes.
The added requirements are met as part of the regular verification and certification process.
What do I do if I’m unsure about an answer?
Read through the guidance and definitions. Answer the question using the precautionary principle to risk. If you remain unsure, then answer “yes”.
