The statement only mentions assessment on third party suppliers where it will "4. ensure that key suppliers agree to Investec’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which requires confirmation from suppliers that they have:

a. undertaken a review of their supply chain;

b. established that it is free from modern slavery; and

c. ensured that all their representatives (including employees, agents, suppliers and subcontractors)

conduct business with and/or on behalf of Investec in accordance with the Supplier Code of Conduct.

d. communicate to suppliers, by way of the Investec Supplier Code of Conduct, that they are required

to undertake continued self-monitoring and promptly inform Investec of any violations of the Supplier

Code of Conduct; and

5. include reference to, and compliance with, these slavery supply chain issues in our supplier engagement

process, supplier audit procedures and contractual arrangements with third party suppliers.
