"JLL’s processes for engaging suppliers, are aimed at identifying and avoiding business associations with suppliers that engage in slavery and human trafficking practices, and our suppliers have ongoing compliance and reporting duties during the entire course of their business relationship with JLL. Through contractual rights to audit suppliers for contractual and legal compliance, we can investigate changed circumstances or suspected non-compliance." p.9
"A new initiative in 2018, JLL’s Global Internal Audit team began incorporating modern slavery reviews in its work program, recently completing a review of our Project and Development Services business in the Middle East and Northern Africa region. The audit findings revealed a lack of consistency in our contracting process, which resulted in a number of contracts being issued without the required anti-modern slavery provisions. We used this finding to evaluate and strengthen our current contract provisions and begin a review of practices in our other high-risk businesses.
Our SCMP platform will provide assistance in identifying potential risk situations through its qualification and monitoring capabilities. Supported by JLL’s Global Internal Audit team, SCMP plans to develop a program to implement periodic supplier audits or audits when circumstances require." p. 9
