On page 12 of the statement the company presents three different suppliers that were considered high risk in term of modern slavery and trafficking. They identify three main wrong practices

“- Expecting workers to regularly perform additional hours/days of unpaid work.

- Providing inadequate machinery for workers to do their jobs.

- Not providing lunches.”

 

They then explain their strategy to remedy these situations.

“Case study

During FY21, from 22 May production ceased at Simberi Operations for a period of time that extended beyond the end of the financial year. While all employees continued to receive their full remuneration, the volume of some contract work was impacted. Royalty payments, which are revenue based, also ceased (noting that local contractors are often also royalty recipients). This may have placed a number of workers employed by contractors at risk if their employers did not pay workers for the work performed. In recognition of the worker rights at stake, lines of credit were extended where requested. Mining and production is expected to resume in Q2 FY22, by the end of calendar year 2021.”
