The assessment of the risks of modern slavery or human trafficking is not explicitly mentioned.

"In 2020, as part of our due diligence process to develop a more detailed understanding of human rights risks across our supply chain, together with Wageningen University, we developed a model to assess human rights risks at a country and commodity level based on the ILO Declaration on fundamental principles and rights at work (ILO, 2016)."

"Additionally, we undertook an analysis of different root causes and risk multipliers of child labour in the supply chains of 12 assessed Olam programmes."

"In 2019 we partnered with the Fair Labor Association to work with one of our suppliers to identify and assess labour risks."

We have proactively partnered with the FLA to map the working conditions in our smallholder cocoa

supply chain in all our nine sourcing countries. For example, the FLA team alongside our local team

engaged government stakeholders, civil society organisations, local community leaders, farmers,

workers, and their families to understand the root causes of child labour. The findings informed our

development of CLMRS. The FLA will continue to independently monitor and then publicly report on

our efforts to improve the conditions for the cocoa farmers and their families in the country.4
