"Individual operating companies carry out due diligence prior to engaging with new suppliers and conduct regular audits, including site visits, on existing supply chains. These due diligence and audit processes are designed to ensure that the Group only operates with reputable suppliers and, in particular, that such suppliers do not use any kind of labour that is contrary to the principles outlined in this statement. Following the success of the initial discoverIE Supplier Survey carried out during the previous year, during the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group repeated the centralised Group-wide audit of its key suppliers. This was in addition to audits and other checks already carried out by individual operating companies."
