Page 3: The 2020 Modern Slavery Statement makes reference to several improvements they are making to policies or actions to combat slavery, but does not explicitly say things like prohibit, produce, protect, respect, or comply. The report does make reference to contracts and service agreements including modern slavery obligations, though does not specifically mention forced labour or human trafficking. It does not say specifically if this goes beyond Tier 1, though on page 6 they give examples of the different tiers in AustralianSuper's supply chain.

"For our procurement activities, in FY20 we began a process to review and amend contracts with material suppliers to include specific modern slavery obligations. This included the adoption of policies and procedures that are designed to ensure compliance with modern slavery laws by the vendor and its suppliers, reporting identified modern slavery risks or events to AustralianSuper, keeping records in relation to the supplier’s modern slavery practices and providing AustralianSuper with that information."
