"Brand partner and supplier due diligence: As our risk assessment identified, our brand partners and suppliers are our area of greatest modern slavery risk. We further developed and rolled out our due diligence process for our supply chains this year as planned. We piloted and refined a detailed Sustainability Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) which works for us as a multi-brand retailer and directly relates to our Ethical Trade Requirements and our commitments to sourcing more sustainable materials by 2025."

"Our Buying and Procurement teams along with our Sustainability team are using the outputs of the SAQ to direct follow up actions where necessary. These include further follow up discussions, questions, corrective actions, and reviewing reports from third-party audits such as SMETA."

"Sedex minimum standards for labour providers: We asked our labour providers to confirm their adherence to the Sedex minimum standards focused specifically on labour risks. This is an on-going process which we have integrated as part of our supplier due diligence processes."

"Brand partners and suppliers:

• Our risk assessment: We recognise that this is where our greatest modern slavery risk exists. We do not control our indirect supply chains which span the globe and include countries and industries with a higher prevalence of modern slavery. Whilst we do have formal measures in place, including contractual requirements with our suppliers, we recognise that seeking meaningful assurance that issues do not exist and that measures are effective across all suppliers is challenging.

• Our action: For this group, our priority is ensuring we set out clear expectations and that we engage and collaborate with our suppliers regularly, based on the risk in their supply chain. Our due diligence process which we have further developed this year specifically targets this population."

Unchecked Desk research because the statement describes a risk-based approach and continuously mentions a risk assessment but it remains a bit unclear whether the company undertakes desk research:  We first consider our three groups of people in relation to the risk associated with their location, the industry they work in, the existing measures we have in place, and our level of control and influence.(5). 

I have checked used of tool because the company mentions :"We asked our labour providers to confirm their adherence to the Sedex minimum standards focused specifically on labour risks". (p.7)
