"In 2016, we replaced our Procurement principles with our Supplier code of conduct which is part of our contractual arrangements with existing and new suppliers. It sets out our expectations of suppliers, their subsidiaries and subcontractors with respect to key issues including human rights. This includes ensuring all work is freely chosen and without the use of forced or compulsory labour. The Supplier code of conduct confirms we may choose not to work with suppliers who do not meet our expectations."
