"Once a contract is in place, we provide ongoing monitoring

by producing a dynamic ‘risk profile’ for the supplier, by risk

rating them using a country and sector risk segmentation tool

that considers the product or service being offered together

with any slavery risk. Our suppliers providing higher risk

products, in higher risk sectors and/or operating in higher

risk geographic markets are subject to enhanced regular risk

assessments which evaluate their sustainability standards,

including labour and workers’ rights. Where necessary,

suppliers will then be subject to additional scrutiny in the

form of on-site visits from a third-party assessor reviewing

human rights, labour, and health and safety practices" - Page 6

 

They do not specifically address conflict-afflicted areas, but they somewhat gloss over it.
