The company mentions their 'Social audit protocol' at different points in the statement, but there is no concrete detail given on whether audits are being conducted.

p. 10 Company states they are planning to do site assurance visits but these have been delayed to FY23

"We identified that our wholly/partly owned subsidiaries operating in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu have our highest potential exposure to modern slavery, within our operations.

We also recognise that while contingent workers represent only ten per cent of our total workforce, these workers can face increased inherent risk to modern slavery type practices.

Due to ongoing travel restrictions in FY2022 our planned site-based assurance activities in our pacific island operations have been rescheduled to FY2023."
