They mention this policy on pg 2 of report.
Though they require their direct suppliers to ensure that their 'partners' also conform with this policy, unsure if this is referring to tier 2+ suppliers, or just other partners of their direct suppliers. Very vague.
No specific indication that these policies apply beyond tier 1 suppliers.

'Policies
... the company has designed two main policies:
Ethics @ Chanel, the company's internal code of conduct, provides the global ethical principles to be followed by all Chanel employees, reflecting the company's core values and expectations. This includes compliance with all applicable labour and employment related laws, rules and regulations in every location in which it does business and across its supply chain, notably relating to wages and hours worked, equal employment opportunity, non-discrimination, immigration and work authorisation, privacy, collective bargaining, child labour, or forced labour.
'The Group's Responsible Procurement Policy, in alignment with Ethics @ Chanel, sets out the standards the company expects its suppliers to uphold regarding issues related, among others, to human rights, the environment and anti-corruption and general compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Acknowledging that local labour laws can sometimes be less stringent than the international standards that protect human rights at work, the Responsible Procurement Policy also references the minimum requirements of the ILO's eight fundamental conventions and other reference standards on issues such as the environment and anti-corruption.' - 2 Statement
ReSET audit requires 'the absence of child labour, forced labour, or prison labour' - 7 Statement
While the policies do not specifically mention slavery and human trafficking, each refer explicitly to forced labour.
