"SUPPLY CHAINS
MFG recognises that risks of modern slavery practices are more likely to present within its supply chains due to its
industry. Like every organisation, a lack of visibility, particularly deeper within its supply chains presents risks. MFG is
not immune to these risks.
A detailed scoping exercise has provided MFG with analytics and a deeper understanding of the presentation of risk,
not only with its tier one suppliers but also further down its supply chains.
The following maps demonstrate the risk profiles of its tier one suppliers, tier two suppliers, and source locations of
raw materials."

"Cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance
Industry risks present within the maintenance of MFG premises. Cleaning, security, and maintenance services are exposed to higher risks of modern slavery practices, including debt bondage, migrant exploitation, deceptive recruitment, and substandard working conditions. These risks are often amplified by complex subcontracting arrangements and poor regulatory mechanisms.
Manufacturing
Industry and geographic risks present within factories and their operations. Factories are exposed to higher risks of child labour, deceptive recruitment, migrant exploitation, restricted freedom of movement, and other modern slavery practices. These risks are often combined with limited transparency over the factory’s internal practices."

"Garments - uniforms and PPE
Geographic risks present due to outsourced supply. The garment industry is exposed to higher modern slavery risks, including child labour, forced labour, debt bondage, restricted freedom of movement, and substandard working conditions. These risks are often amplified during periods of increased demand and reliance on an unskilled, dispensable workforce.
Logistics, freight, shipping
Industry and geographic risks present within warehouses and global distribution chains. The logistics industry is subject to modern slavery risks such as migrant exploitation, human smuggling, forced labour, and deceptive recruitment.
Raw Materials - cotton, rubber, leather and synthetics
Geographic risks present due to outsourced supply. Raw material extraction and processing is exposed to high modern slavery risks due to the frequent use of forced labour, deceptive recruitment, unsafe working conditions, and dispensable workers."
