Management approach

In order to reach our CSR objectives of performance, transparency and accountability, and to meet our stakeholders’ expectations, RETAL is adopting a systematic and holistic approach by implementing the ISO 26000 standard internally and throughout our supply chain.

To help us achieve this in an efficient way we are using the CSR Analytics Pro Toolkit designed by leading international CSR consultancy the CSR Company International, specializing on Strategic CSR, Business Ethics, Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement.

For all ISO 26000 ‘Core Subjects’, RETAL is adopting a “Plan-Do-Check-Adjust” management approach, defining global objectives and targets through policies, implementing action plans with KPIs to reach those targets, and retro-adjusting objectives based on results.

ISO 26000 standard

ISO 26000 is an internationally recognized standard for CSR management with a holistic approach focusing on seven core subjects:

• Organisation Governance,
• Human Rights,
• Labour Practices,
• The Environment,
• Fair Operating Practices,
• Consumer Issues
• Community Involvement and Development.

Implementing ISO 26000 will provide robustness to our action and allow RETAL to align with European recommendations in terms of non-financial reporting.

Whistle-blowing channel

RETAL strives to be a transparent and ethical company and welcomes any of its employees and external stakeholders to report in good faith any actual or suspected violation of our Policies and any other irregularities, potentially detrimental to RETAL and its business, that they may observe. For this purpose, RETAL has created the following whistle blowing channels through which a violation report can be made:

Via email:

We urge the person or ‘whistleblower’ to provide an as detailed as possible description of the matter to allow a proper investigation.

All violation reports may be submitted anonymously, however whistleblowers are encouraged to provide contact details since it may help the investigation and allow RETAL to inform them of the results. If provided, RETAL will endeavor to maintain confidentiality on the whistleblower identity unless otherwise specified by the law.
