In a number of cases, we have ensured that suppliers get further in-depth training and capacity building. Primark partnered
with Verité to design a ‘Fair Hiring Fair Labour’ toolkit to identify human rights and compliance-related risks around hiring
and recruitment practices. This toolkit has been used in factories and mills in our South Indian supply chain to assess the
management practices of factories with particular reference to recruitment and hiring, screening and managing brokers,
and on-site management of workers
As part of the current Modern Slavery and Human Rights Plan, which was signed off by the Illovo board and launched in
late 2016, we assess risk at a country and plant level. Last year, Illovo conducted a thorough mapping of its supply chains
at a country level to understand the potential risks. These studies were focused on our countries of operation – South
Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia.
