Question:
Does the company’s statement detail one or more specific, organisational policies or actions to combat slavery in their direct (tier 1) and/or in-direct (beyond tier 1) supply chain?
Answer:
Code of conduct or supplier code includes clauses on slavery and human trafficking (beyond tier 1)
Pg 2 - "Our policies on modern slavery and human
trafficking"
p.4 Include clauses on forced labour in Codes of Conduct or Supplier Codes
"Our Supplier Code of Conduct makes specific reference to the International Labour Organisation Core Conventions and the Modern Slavery Act. Of particular relevance is the requirement for suppliers to support freely chosen employment: work that is completed voluntarily and without slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. These obligations generally apply to supplier relationships regardless of the industry or geography in which they operate and our usual practice is to notify potential suppliers about this as part of our requirements before they submit a commercial bid."
p.4 require all suppliers and contractors to comply with local and international laws (including the UN Guiding Principles, ILO standards, or International Conventions), and company’s policies
"If we do enter into a contract with a supplier, we apply our standard terms and conditions, which require suppliers to adhere to all applicable laws, including the conventions of the International Labour Organisation and the International Bill of Human Rights."
