Page 12: Turkey Case study. "There is an ongoing migrant labour crisis in Turkey with Syri an, Afghan, and Ukrainian refugees." "In Turkey, the Group’s in-country sourcing and ethical team, conducts factory spot checks and site visits in addition to engaging with suppliers to help them understand the vulnerability of migrant workers and the severity of the issue through training and guidance. The Group’s in-country team also helps direct suppliers to NGOs for further support."
Page 12: Wage case study: "In July 2021, it was reported to the Group that while there was evidence garment workers were officially being paid minimum wage and statutory entitlements, an on-site manager was demanding a cash refund of a portion of the wages at a supplier site... The Group reported this incident to the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA). There was a court hearing in which the former on-site manager was found guilty and convicted for slavery and trafficking risk order. To prevent similar issues occurring in the future, the supplier has since embarked on its own change programme to ensure that such issues are identified and is sponsoring modern slavery training. "
