Under their Safeguarding Policy in page 16 it states, "Sets out the governing principles and safeguarding approach for our employees and independent consultants, and the employees of our partners and suppliers, particularly when operating in higher risk countries. It outlines our commitment to comply with laws in the jurisdiction in which we operate and provide remediation if a breach occurs"

 

Regarding their correction plan, they state ". Additionally, through this localised assessment and review, offices and geographies identified as higher-risk are recommended to develop action plans with localised messaging, training, and examples regarding human rights, labour and anti-corruption principles" where they state that it is recommended rather than something that is implemented

 

Regarding supplier contract, it doesn't explicitly state that contracts will be canceled if there are any incidents of modern slavery. It states that suppliers have implemented modern slavery regulations within their own contracts as well and "to date, Cardno ID has no reported instances of potential Modern Slavery through direct employment or suppliers" (page 17)
