"Supplier Due Diligence: FSL uses a risk-based questionnaire as part of our supplier due diligence process which includes questions based on the UN Global Compact’sTen Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anticorruption.FSL assess suppliers in those areas to ensure that our suppliers mirror our values in relation to those topics. FSL recognise that smaller organisations may not have developed policies for human rights and labour but are a still a key part of our supply chain. The Responsible Procurement Charter was created for low-risk SMEs to subscribe to key values, including the prohibition of the use of forced labour or child labour. This approach allows FSL to continue work with smaller organisations and positively influence their approach. Whilst this approach is established in the UK at present, FSL are continuing to work to standardise due diligence across Europe, demonstrating our commitment to preventing Modern Day Slavery throughout the region, and all new suppliers are now asked to sign up to our Responsible Procurement Charter or the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct."

"Following the publication of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we conduct an annual mapping exercise to locate suppliers in countries at higher risk of forced labour using Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index."
