WSA can impact all workers in the supply chain in three ways: ensuring fair working conditions, equal treatment and
opportunity, and other fundamental work-related rights.
• Fair working conditions for workers in the supply chain (potential negative impact)
WSA strongly believes that workers should be employed in safe, respectful, and supportive environments that respect their rights
and wellbeing. Unfair working conditions across WSA’s supply chain can have serious negative effects on a worker’s physical,
mental, and social well-being.
• Equal treatment and opportunity for workers in the supply chain (potential negative impact)
WSA strongly believes that all workers in the supply chain should be treated fairly and without discrimination, regardless of
characteristics such as gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, or other personal traits through equal access to
opportunities for hiring, development, promotion, and fair pay. Discrimination and lack of opportunity can come in many forms
across our supply chain, creating a profound impact on workers’ well-being, confidence, and long-term prospects.
Other work–related rights for workers in the supply chain (potential negative impact) WSA strongly believes that all workers in
the supply chain should have their fundamental work-related rights respected, including freedom of association, the right to
collective bargaining, and protection from forced or child labour. Violations of these rights across the supply chain can create
severe negative consequences for the safety, dignity, health, and future opportunities of workers.
Material IROs – governance
WSA takes a structured approach to ethical business conduct. Five IROs related to ethical business conduct have been identified.
Out of these five, three are entity-specific and these are: responsible tax contributions and compliance, cybersecurity and data
privacy, and employee privacy.
• Suppressed reporting of misconduct (potential negative impact)
WSA relies on employees to adhere to the WSA Code of Conduct and report any misconduct. As a company, WSA encourages
reporting misconduct, empower employees to speak up, strengthen trust across the organisation, boost morale, and foster a safe,
supportive, and accountable workplace culture. Despite policies and procedures that encourage reporting, WSA recognises the
potential negative impact on employees if misconduct is not reported.
• Data privacy (potential negative impact)
WSA collects and manages personal data from customers and end-users. Properly protecting this data helps prevent incidents
such as identity theft, financial fraud, and the unauthorised disclosure of sensitive health information. Protecting customers and
end-users’ private data is essential for maintaining their trust and enabling continued use of data for WSA’s hardware and
software functionalities. Despite policies and procedures for protecting customers and end-users' private data, WSA recognises
that a data privacy breach would negatively impact customers and end-users.
• Cybersecurity and data privacy (risk)
The risk of data privacy breaches and cybersecurity threats poses a significant financial risk to WSA. This risk includes potential
regulatory fines, legal fees, and the costs associated with investigating and remediating incidents. Such breaches can also cause
reputational damage, erode customer trust, and lead to a loss in revenue. Therefore, effective cybersecurity and data protection
are critical to WSA’s financial stability.
• Ethical working culture risks (risk)
WSA understands that a weak corporate culture can lead to unclear ethical expectations, misaligned objectives, and reduced
