The remediation process is focused on disciplinary measures against employees (see p.17). The process is not described in a lot of detail when it comes to cases of modern slavery. From the statement, we understand that corrective action plans are implemented to address non-conformities that could be linked to modern slavery (lack of reporting on overtime).
p. 13: For the most serious non-conformances, each case is escalated to the Chief Procurement Officer level.
p.17: n the event of non-compliance with the Modern Slavery Risk Management Framework by an employee (especially based on the findings of an investigation), disciplinary measures may apply depending on local disciplinary policies and law. Appropriate
measures are also taken to remediate consequences of the misconduct (such as launch a specific audit, review a process, perform training, etc.).
