Yes, they have a list of performance indicators which highlights whether their actions are having an effect. These steps include, training key members of staff, establishing a better oversight of their indirect supply, and other steps. They are monitoring the effects of these actions.
"Measuring effectiveness – performance indicators
In order to monitor the effectiveness of the steps we have taken and are intending to take to stop slavery and trafficking taking place in our business and supply chains, we intend to use the following performance indicators for the year ahead:
• We intend that key members of staff will receive relevant training, as referenced above.
• We will have issued our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy to our workforce through a communication setting out our stance in relation to modern slavery.
• We will establish a process to gain a better oversight of our indirect supply chain and consider how best to risk assess, carry out due diligence and communicate with these suppliers in relation to MSA issues. We will consider whether it is appropriate to raise specific questions in relation to slavery and trafficking with these suppliers.
• As a minimum and focussing initially on those suppliers we deem to be higher risk, we will send out, to those suppliers not subject to the Weetabix Standards, correspondence:
o setting out our zero tolerance approach to modern slavery;
o require them to confirm that they will adhere to the principles set out in our Responsible Sourcing Policy.
• As we develop our risk assessment and due diligence processes, we will assess and consider the appropriateness of developing further measures, where we assess that there may be a heightened risk of slavery and trafficking within those organisations. We will take appropriate measures to encourage and persuade them to adopt their own measures to minimise the risks of slavery and trafficking within their own organisations and the supply chain beyond."
