"POLICIES

We have zero tolerance of slavery and we expect the same commitment from all organisations that we do business with.

To ensure that we, as well as all those in our supply chain, uphold this commitment, we have in place several policies and procedures, which include:

Anti-Slavery Policy

Our commitment to reducing the risks of modern slavery in our business operations and supply chains, and to managing incidents where they might occur, is outlined within our AntiSlavery Policy.

Modern slavery fact sheet

We created a one-page modern slavery fact sheet, which included information on, as well as the requirements of the Australian Modern Slavery Act, which was sent to all our Tier 1 suppliers.

Supplier Agreements

Our Supplier Agreement stipulates the terms and conditions required to be a supplier and was updated during the reporting period to include contractual provisions relating to modern slavery.

Whistleblower Policy

Our Whistleblower policy encourages employees, contractors, suppliers and customers to raise concerns of suspected unethical, illegal or fraudulent conduct. The policy provides protection for whistle-blowers so they feel safe to disclose any malpractice, misconduct.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Our Code sets out our performance and behavioural expectations for our suppliers and, similarly, was updated during the reporting period to include modern slavery considerations.

Anti-harassment and Bullying Policy

The Anti-harassment and Bullying Policy ensures all staff are treated and treat other with dignity and respect, free from harassment and bullying. It helps foster an environment in which our staff are comfortable to say something, if they see something.

Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct provides advice and guidance on how our employees, contractors, consultants, and board members should conduct business, ethically, and in accordance with all appliable laws, regulations and policies. All updated policies have been made available to employees via the internal R.M.Williams’ portal."
