These include external country-level human rights risk indicators, such as those provided by the risk organisation Verisk Maplecroft, as well as the views of our local leadership teams, our Business Integrity committees and internal experts. They also consider historic Code breaches, training completion statistics, local activations to drive awareness and visibility, and the procedures in place to respond to issues.”

These indices include an evaluation of the risks of modern slavery in those geographies and procurement activities.”
