"Our programme is underpinned by our Responsible Sourcing Policy outlining the minimum standards we require all suppliers, across all geographies, products and services, to comply with. Our Policy is aligned with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) convention and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This policy is reviewed annually.
Specifically, with regard to modern slavery, it states that there will be no:
• Trafficked individuals working in any part of the supply chain
• Forced, bonded, indentured or involuntary prison labour or any other labour of a similar conduct in any part of our supply chain
• Payment of recruitment fees on behalf of the worker, lodge ‘deposits’ or identity papers with their employer and workers are free to leave their employer after legal or statutory notice."
"Updates to supplier contracts
In 2021, we updated supplier contracts strengthen our position to cease business immediately should evidence of modern-day slavery be identified."
