“Where a supplier falls short of our required labour standards, we seek to agree to a corrective action plan to allow the supplier to remedy areas of non-compliance. Materials are gathered to support statements made to us and a follow-up site visit may be undertaken. We expect our suppliers to engage with us constructively and responsibly but if a supplier is not willing or able to demonstrate compliance, our supply and procurement teams are empowered to end negotiations with that supplier.”

“As mentioned above, we ask suppliers to affirm they can meet the standards in our Code of Conduct for Suppliers prior to contracting with them. That statement is supported by an undertaking in the relevant supply agreement that if breached may result in termination of the contract.”
