"d) R.M.Williams has the right to terminate if the Supplier is in breach of that standard, fails to work towards full compliance with that standard, or fails to take remediation action required by R.M.Williams."

pg. 15

"If it is apparent that an individual has suffered harm as a result of an identified issue, we will seek to ensure, first and foremost, that they are protected and that remedy is provided to them by using our leverage. In the event that we have caused or contributed to the risk, we will take action to prevent that risk and remedy any actual impact as appropriate. We also have processes in place to identify root causes of those issues to help prevent that issue recurring in the future with that supplier specifically and with our other suppliers generally."

I have added senior management because:

The delegated modern slavery committee is responsible for further investigation of potential, or actual, incidents of modern slavery within R.M.Williams’ operations and supply chains, and whether referral is required to the CEO and board of directors (p. 15)

Evidence for corrective action plan:

If R.M.Williams determines that there has been a breach of this Policy by a Supplier, either flagged through our grievance mechanisms or via audits, we will endeavour to have that Supplier identify and correct that breach. (p. 15). R.M.Williams may require the Supplier to remediate any breach of that standard (p. 13)
