As part of Target Forward – our enterprise-wide sustainability strategy, we are working to create a Just and Equitable Supply Chain (JESC). Having a Just and Equitable Supply Chain is our ambition supported by two goals and supplier requirements.

By the end of 2025, we plan to work with all our suppliers to implement policies and programs to advance gender equity and pay workers’ wages digitally.

These JESC goals build on defined supplier expectations in our Business Partner Code of Conduct and Standards for Vendor Engagement. These expectations encompass a holistic approach that will benefit all workers. 

We are focusing on four levers to achieve the necessary system changes for JESC:

• Equitable Systems for Hiring & Advancement - Creating fair and equal access to opportunities for jobs and advancement for all, as well as strengthening retention of employees, especially at management levels.
• Financial Security - Occurs when compensation meets or exceeds minimum wage standards and covers basic costs of living, correct wages are paid, and workers are empowered with resources and knowledge to meet their immediate financial needs and plan for their future.
• Effective Anonymous Channels for Incident Reporting – Effective anonymous channels (also called grievance mechanisms) involve creating procedures for workers to report grievances through multiple channels. Ensuring workers are aware of reporting channels is essential for equal access and confidence they can use them without fear of retaliation or discrimination.
• Access to Health Information & Services – Access ensures workers are safe and attain quality health information and services regarding maternal health, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health. Participating in this program will allow your entire workforce to benefit from comprehensive capacity building and digital training interventions. We firmly believe that this program will improve workplace dialogue among workplaces, foster long-term behavioral change, and promote supply chain responsibility beyond compliance. Our goal is to build an engaged workforce that can drive sustainable improvements across the supply chain, ensuring long-lasting positive impacts.

This program is specifically designed for workers and management level at all levels, with training content tailored and adapted to your country's context and labor standards, covering topics such as Ethical Employment, Workplace Policies, Workplace Dialogue, Social Compliance, Occupational Safety and Health, and Equality, Safety, and Respect (in progress). Depending on where you are located, Target's partners with Quizrr to finalize the training topics for each country's markets before program implementation every year.

The digital training modules can be conveniently accessed via tablets, desktops, and smartphones (offline or online).

1. Create an implementation team

Put together a team of dedicated managers and employees who will be programme champions! Explain the goals and benefits of the programme and empower them to share the information (key dates, how to participate) with their colleagues. Check in with them periodically and support them in their efforts.

2. Attend onboarding sessions

Onboarding sessions will be hosted by Quizrr. Please join these to understand how the survey and training will work, what types of results you might expect, and how to engage and empower your workers to share their voice!

3. Complete pre-deployment activities
