The company supports the supplier to respond to instances of modern slavery as seen on page 2. "We verify that our suppliers comply with our Code of Conduct through use of a risk based system to identify potential areas for concern. The Integrity Hotline, set out above, can also be used to report concerns in relation suppliers and third-party intermediaries. Where a concern is identified a supplier quality audit would be instigated, including corporate responsibility content and compliance with the Code of Conduct, with appropriate actions taken depending on the outcome of the audit" (2). The statement didnt mention worker remediation, senior management, or cancelling contracts.
