"Many of our suppliers have supply chains that are outside Australia. With the ongoing pandemic, we have relied on Supplier Self-Assessment questionnaires to report about their own operations and supply chains."

"Our Risk Assessment Framework considers risk factors based on registered supplier location and the commodity they provide. These factors enable us to determine a risk rating. We use independent data from the US Bureau of International Labour Affairs' List of Goods Produced with Child Labour or Forced Labour, and from Walk Free, an initiative of the Minderoo Foundation."

"Existing suppliers who are assessed as high risk are required to complete our revised Modern Slavery Survey and their responses are reviewed in accordance with our Risk Assessment Framework."

"This occurs through a voluntary questionnaire for suppliers who currently hold or will hold a contract with a total value of $1 million or more. These questionnaires cover questions regarding modern slavery, corporate social responsibility, environmental management and resource usage, and organisational governance. We have included these questionnaires in our assessment of modern slavery risk in our supply chain in 2021."

"New suppliers of EnergyAustralia are required to complete our onboarding questionnaire which includes questions relating to modern slavery, including whether they have their own working practices and safeguards in place to evaluate and select their own suppliers and subcontractors relating to these same issues."
