'DUE DILIGENCE

OUR POLICIES

Our Ethical Sourcing Policy is applicable and communicated to both merchandise and non-merchandise suppliers prior to onboarding, alongside our Whistleblower Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct which is available in English and Chinese where the majority of our private brand manufacturing occurs. This Policy embraces internationally recognised guidelines provided by the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI), outlining a number of key labour indicators such as wages and benefits, working hours and discrimination, and our zero tolerance stance on forced and child labour, bribery, and effects on the environment. This Policy includes flow down application to the suppliers supply chain and a requirement of the supplier to ensure that their supply chain are provided a copy of Myer’s

policies and requirements including our Code of Conduct, Procurement Policy, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, Employee Complaints Standard and Whistleblower Policy. Our current trading term agreement for both merchandise and procurement are strengthened by modern slavery specific provisions in the contract precedent, and requires all suppliers to agree and adhere to the sourcing policy, and comply with all modern slavery laws and regulations and have appropriate controls in place to identify and manage slavery practices.' - 8

Mention of 'flow down application to the suppliers supply chain' but no further specifics on potential compliance beyond ensuring that the further supply chain is provided with copies of Myer policies. - 8

'AUDIT AND REMEDIATION

Myer assesses factories against a set of principles utilising the key criteria’s of the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI), which ensures at a minimum, that all Private Brand suppliers have management systems in place covering all factories. It also includes a requirement to recognise the rights of all workers and to treat them with dignity, respect and equally providing them an environment that is free from discrimination, abuse

and harassment, and is considered in line by international community standards. In addition all workers must be protected against forced or child labour, be compensated fairly for their work, and be allowed freedom of association and the right to collectively bargain.' - 8

Whilst we have a clear understanding of the final stage of our production, currently audits are not common for raw materials and inputs suppliers. In such instance, we utilise the supplier questionnaire and through discussions seek to understand their operations and processes. Contractual arrangements are generally between final stage production and Myer. Additional diligence and validation processes are consistently being explored to ensure transparency and supply chain is free from modern slavery. - 7
