"Before any business contracts with a new supplier, the business assesses the risk profile of that supplier against the divisional criteria and requires high-risk suppliers to complete a risk assessment questionnaire and/or be independently audited. Suppliers are assessed to identify the risks of the supplier breaching the ethical sourcing and modern slavery policy of the relevant Wesfarmers division. Wesfarmers’ businesses have different processes to guide their engagement with suppliers."

"In line with Wesfarmers’ autonomous business model, our divisions set different thresholds for reporting critical breaches. In the 2021 financial year, the Wesfarmers divisions have achieved greater alignment by using the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) classifications as a baseline for defining critical breaches and setting their respective reporting thresholds. The SMETA ‘business critical’ classification has been adopted for reporting purposes by all divisions. The definition for SMETA ‘critical breaches’ has been adopted by Bunnings, Officeworks, Industrial and Safety and WesCEF. Kmart Group has developed its own definition for critical breaches and it is disclosed on the Wesfarmers website under Basis of Reporting."

"Divisions recognised there would be delays or difficulties in scheduling ethical sourcing audits during periods of lockdown and travel restrictions, such as in India and Bangladesh, and adopted alternative approaches to audits and used Sedex Virtual Assessments to conduct audits. It is acknowledged that virtual audits do not provide the same insights as in-person audits. While the number of suppliers audited across the Group in the 2021 financial year reduced to 1,475 (2020: 1,819) the divisions maintained their audit programs, with the intent of safeguarding the rights of factory workers and to identify suppliers who may use COVID-19 as an opportunity to exploit vulnerable workers."

"Each year, in their report to their divisional boards and the Wesfarmers Audit and Risk Committee, divisions report on the implementation of the Wesfarmers Ethical Sourcing and Modern Slavery Policy and management of related risks. Within this report, each division completes a self-assessment of its performance against the Group’s modern slavery minimum standards.

The table below summarises the results of the self-assessment for the 2021 financial year, together with explanatory comments on the focus for the coming year."
