'We have continued to make improvements in centralising the data we have available on all our suppliers. The new supplier directory is being used which enables easyJet to produce reports and monitor the MSA risk ratings across our suppliers more effectively. We continue to assess our suppliers and give each supplier a risk rating based on the industry sector and geographical location of production or service. We use the Global Slavery Index to support our analysis of geographic risk and assess whether the country/are have a high prevalence of Modern Slavery or other labour rights violations' - page 5

 

'During the year, we transitioned our whistleblowing hotline to a new provider with increased capabilities (including reporting in local languages and a tracking system for following a report. We also communicated our whistleblowing hotline to over 20 high-risk suppliers, inviting them to use our service if they didn't operate their own service. The aim being to provide a safe space for them to self-declare instances of human rights abuse or breaches of the Code of Conduct. Two suppliers agreed to make our hotline available to their employees and a number of other suppliers advised us of their existing whistleblowing hotline arrangements.' - page 5

FIRST ANSWER IS WRONG, THE CORRECTED ANSWER:

 

'For suppliers categorised as a higher risk, these contractual clauses allow easyJet to review steps they have taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any of their supply chains or in any part of their business. The clauses also enable easyJet to audit the supplier and its subcontractors' premises...' - page 4.
