"The widely reported modern slavery risks in China, where the majority of our products are sourced, include forced or bonded labour, deceptive recruitment, child labour, exploitation of migrant workers, underpayment of workers (or not paying a living wage). The Global Slavery Index 2018 (GSI) reports that forced labour mainly occurs in the production of labour-intensive goods for export, including in the manufacturing and construction sectors. We are also aware of allegations of forced labour being used in Xinjiang and Dandong to work in Chinese factories."

"Focus on ‘higher risk’ products sold by SRG
As we have only recently commenced our modern slavery supply chain review, we will be focussed during FY21 and beyond on identifying and reviewing the supply of our ‘higher modern slavery risk’ products. Based on Global Slavery Index information, the following products and raw materials represent a high risk for SRG:
• Cotton – especially any cotton products or raw material sourced from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. We aim to investigate our supply chains and operations with the goal of not knowingly sourcing cotton (or cotton-based products) from these regions or from the Xinjiang and Dandong regions in China, due to allegations of forced labour being prevalent in these regions.
• Garments – Apparel and Clothing Accessories – especially any of these products that may be made in, or sourced from Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Malaysia, Thailand or Vietnam;
• Carpets – especially those made in India and Pakistan;
• Electronics and Electrical Items – especially those made or sourced from China or Malaysia;
• Timber – especially any timber based products that have been sourced from Brazil, North Korea or Peru."
