"In addition to the due diligence set out above, site audits are another component of MFG’s due diligence suite. MFG set

the foundation for a robust site audit program by:

» engaging with a third-party (lawyers) to establish a Site Audit Pack. The pack sets out the essential

requirements of a site audit, including taking a worker-centric approach by interviewing employees directly. To

ensure the initiative was implemented effectively, MFG utilised the third-party to facilitate training, including

interviewing techniques, for those responsible for conducting the site audits;

» implementing an annual site audit plan on factories that MFG engage, prioritising factories based in higher-risk

locations such as China, Pakistan, India and Turkey; and

» reviewing completed site audits to establish baseline requirements of what qualifies as an effective and reliable

site audit. This is particularly relevant as MFG could not travel in the reporting period to conduct site audits due

to COVID-19 restrictions.

In the next reporting period, MFG will outsource site audits for high-risk factories and obtain information from

suppliers based on recent site audits conducted by third parties.

Another dimension of the due diligence suite, MFG outsourced a deep dive due diligence report for two of its suppliers

to a specialist agency. These reports delved further into the risk profiles of both suppliers."
