"7 MODERN SLAVERY TRAINING

In M&S Foods we were able to continue some programmes, and in 2020/21 delivered training to 133 colleagues internally as part of the Food Induction Programme, as well as externally in the supply chain through the following collaborative programmes:

Stronger Together UK: 237 Individuals

Stronger Together South Africa: 51 Suppliers

Stronger Together Spain: 12 Suppliers

Responsible Recruitment Toolkit: 85 Suppliers

Retailer Covid Webinars: Managing Labour Responsibly: 1,149 Individuals

This year we developed and launched an Ethical Toolkit for all food suppliers to use which contains best practice case studies from across our supply base. This covers a number of the indicators set out in this recommendation, such as agency work and equal opportunities."
