Pg9. In FY22, six suppliers, located in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan, were found to have non-conformances associated with indicators of modern slavery with regard to foreign migrant workers. Four suppliers chargedfees prohibited by HP’s Supplier Code of Conduct and the Supply Chain Foreign Migrant Worker Standard, including recruitment, travel, medical, and accommodation fees. One supplier withheld passports and one month of workers’ wages, also in violation of the HP Supplier Code of Conduct and the Supply Chain Foreign Migrant Worker Standard. A final supplier was found to have required forced overtime for security workers. In partnership with the RBA, we immediately addressed these issues in accordance with the policies and procedures laid out above by requiring the supplier to stop the prohibited practices, revise their policies for hiring foreign migrant workers (including confirming that workers will not pay fees going forward), and communicate the revised policies to their workers.
