"- Our Policy on Sourcing Regions of Particular Human Rights Focus outlines our increased due diligence in – and in some cases ban of – regions of countries associated with actual or potential human rights abuses. During the financial year 2019–2020, the policy has addressed five regions/countries: Xinjiang, Myanmar, North Korea, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan."
" One such initiative is the HERproject, which aims to empower women in our supply chain and ultimately counter their vulnerability to abuse. Empowered women and dignified work are critical to better business – business that is more ethical and more productive."
The company identifies specific types of modern slavery such as fire and building safety, living wages and resilient sourcing communities (see table in page 2). However, it does not identify specific industries, workforce or geographies with higher risk. The policy on sourcing regions mentioned above (see p. 3) does not refer to these geographies having been identified by the company itself. Therefore, I have unchecked geographic, industry and workforce.
