"We understand that on a global scale our supply chain operates in an environment with a higher risk of potential labour-related issues due to geographical and industry risks. This is why our due diligence program is used for ongoing monitoring and management, to seek to identify, prevent and mitigate any violations of human rights, including forms of modern slavery."
pg 14:
"The conclusions drawn from this risk assessment can be summarised as follows:
• In our supply chains, there are potential high risks of modern slavery due to the geographical and industry risks associated with the products manufactured for our brands
• High risks of modern slavery are prevalent in the cultivation and harvesting of raw materials that may be used in our goods
• High risks of broader human rights impacts exist due to industry ethics, a lack of transparency and the prevalence of subcontracting."
