p.3 "EDLhas established a modern slavery working group, includingrepresentatives from the procurement,finance,human resources, and legal teamsto develop EDL’s Modern Slavery Statements.These teams each perform key shared functions across EDL’s groupcompaniesand are well apprised of the risks faced by each entity.As these key functions areshared and centralised,and the various EDL entities applyuniform policies and practices(excludingminor differences to reflect differentregions of operations),we believethat formal consultation between EDL’s technically separate entities (including subsidiary companies owned by EDL reporting entities) was not necessaryto identify, assess and implement actions to addressanymodern slavery risks.This working group consulted, as necessary,with subject matter experts within EDL’s businessto develop this 2021 statement.The statement was reviewed by EDL’s Audit Committee, and subsequently approved for publication by the Board of Directors of each of the reporting entities(see below)."
