"Recognising the limitations of ‘mainstream’ ethical audits to identify Modern Slavery issues, and based on information received through our Human rights risk assessment process, we have also begun to undertake a number of additional due diligence audits with leading forced labour experts. To date, such audits have been carried out in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines."

"During 2015/16, ethical audits identified 14 non-compliances under the heading ‘employment is freely chosen’, this included absence of a clear policy on forced labour, reports from workers that toilet breaks were restricted, deposit payments for protective equipment, and retention of passports of workers. All instances have been followed up, for example, by working with experts on the ground to undertake more detailed visits, and to identify remedial actions. "
