"Case study

COVID-19 outsource partners – Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)

Downer’s engagement model with India-based company, TCS, includes the provision of onshore and offshore labour. Downer acknowledges the vulnerability of both the onshore and offshore TCS workforce and the hardship that the pandemic caused. During the pandemic, the onshore workforce became stranded in Australia as international borders closed to prevent the spread of the virus."

p.18 "Since our FY20 Modern Slavery Statement, we have continued to work with CRRC Changchun, our joint venture partner for the delivery of Melbourne’s High Capacity Metro Trains (HCMT), to monitor risks of modern slavery in the HCMT supply chain. Downer partners with CRRC in China to deliver these trainsets. In 2020, it was alleged that a number of Uyghur workers were transferred to factories operated by KTK Group, a supplier of train components to CRRC and the broader international train manufacturing sector. KTK has denied the allegations and Downer has found no evidence to establish the allegations. We continue to work with CRRC to monitor this risk."
