"This year, to better understand suppliers’ modern slavery risk profile, we rolled out a self assessment questionaire (SAQ) to the 18 behind the counter seafood suppliers"

 

pg. 23

Self-assessment questionnaires answered by direct (tier one) and beyond (tier two) cotton suppliers for Big W (an entity within the Woolworths Group).

 

pg. 24

'Human rights specific' questions for business units seeking to procure non-trade goods, equipment and services where there is 'inherently higher risk for human rights, including modern slavery'

 

pg. 22

"We continue to monitor cotton-growing regions that are the subject of allegations, or known cases of child or forced labour, including Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, India and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China." And also - Ongoing monitoring of geopolitical risks across our supply chain in recognition of the dynamic environment and evolving international legislative environment in

this area".
