"In 2020, we developed training materials with Stronger Together to reach different stakeholders across the business. A module designed to educate colleagues on the risk of modern slavery in workplaces, how to spot potential victims of modern slavery and how to report any instances was developed and will be made available to all employees in 2022. In 2021, we were part of a natural work team within the Construction Clients Leadership Group researching current modern slavery initiatives and providing members with an overview of what initiatives were available."
