Since, contract includes code and code includes forced labour. It is considered that contract includes forced labour clause.

pg. 7

“Our Supplier Code of Conduct (“the Code”) is informed by the same international human rights standards. It describes the human rights standards we expect our first-tier suppliers to uphold, covering forced labor, including modern slavery.

The Code prohibits the use of all forms of forced labor, including any form of prison, trafficked, indentured or bonded labor.”

Pg. 16

“We continue to focus on improving the practices of labor and service providers, including in regions with high levels of dependence on foreign migrant workers. In key countries with known forced labor risks associated with labor sourcing, we are updating contractual terms with labor providers to include specific guidance on recruitment fees, access to personal documents and other foundational elements of our Supplier Code of Conduct.”

Pg. 19

“Align: Since launching the program in 2019, we have put in place processes to ensure our Code of Conduct is part of all contractual terms.”
