The company is talking about the entire garment and footwear industry in general. Hence it is not considered.

pg. 15

“Further, as we frankly acknowledged in our First Statement, as a company operating within the garment and footwear industry, we are inherently at a higher risk of causing, contributing or being linked to modern slavery. Typically, the garment and footwear supply chain is characterised by low skilled, low paid labour, short lead times and intensive, dispersed production, therefore exposing the industry to labour and human rights risks. However, the likelihood and severity of these risks and potential adverse impacts varies considerably based on the country of production, the regulatory environment and socio-economic factors.”
