Extreme heat: a snapshot for responsible business

This snapshot provides key excerpts from ETI’s member briefing on extreme heat. It aims to:

  • Explain how periods of extreme heat increase risks for workers in global supply chains. 
  • Stimulate collaboration and action between companies, suppliers, and worker representatives to address these risks as part of a broader HRDD approach. 

It uses key clauses of the ETI Base Code as a structure and highlights the importance of crosscutting principles and recurring actions. It forms part of ETI’s work on Just transitions.
