p.1 Suppliers comply with laws and company’s policies (direct / tier 1).

"In contracts with suppliers providing contractors and other personnel to us, Vanguard requires that they comply with all applicable laws relating to or affecting the work to be performed by that supplier, including all rules and regulations related to equal employment opportunity and immigration, and that the supplier will obtain and maintain all permits, visas, licenses, and consents required in connection therewith.

The review of procurement processes is continual to ensure that Vanguard’s due diligence of material suppliers remains fit for purpose and that contractual provisions cover all applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws."
