'Maintain an internal and external whistleblowing system to ensure Hermes Australia is notified of any risk of modern slavery and/or non-compliance' P.3

'Manage and regularly draw supply chains and suppliers risk mapping and conduct internal and external checks to assess the risk of modern slavery and implement action plans where appropriate' P.3
