The company mentions audits, but the audit seems to just cover that the supplier has committed to their Code of Conduct rather than actually complying with company's policies and/or local laws.

Statement mentions ongoing audits as part of a vetting process

In the forthcoming year we will continue to ensure that our team members

are fully trained and our supply chain is adhering to our Supplier Code

of Practice. We will do this by:

• Continually monitoring our policies and refreshing our Supplier

Code of Conduct if appropriate;

• Ensuring our training materials are specific to our hotels and the regions

in which we operate;

• Continual to delivering modern day slavery training as a part of our induction

process for all new starters;

• Ensuring all team members continue to receive regular refresher training;

• Training modern day slavery champions in each of our locations;

• The supplier vetting process will continue to be reviewed in each hotel

as part of the internal audit process to ensure the Group’s policies are

adhered to; and

• Suppliers will continue to be reviewed and approved by management

of an appropriate seniority as part of the supplier vetting process.
