"In 2021, Slave Free Alliance (SFA) was commissioned to roll out modern slavery training to all operations of the Group"

"In total SFA trained 721 of 758 Group head office and distribution centre employees on Modern Slavery. New starters to the business are required to undertake virtual training as part of their induction programme."

"The Group has also delivered internal ethical compliance training to all Group brands’ buying and merchandising teams."

 

Page 12: "In Turkey, the Group’s in-country sourcing and ethical team, conducts factory spot checks and site visits in addition to engaging with suppliers to help them understand the vulnerability of migrant workers and the severity of the issue through training and guidance.'

Since it is not clear that the training to the suppliers is in relation to MS. We haven't considered.

Pg. 13

“For suppliers with fair and critical gradings we provide training to help them improve their performance. We also conduct regular meetings with suppliers as required to help suppliers understand how and why they need to remediate.”

Pg. 12

“To prevent similar issues occurring in the future, the supplier has since embarked on its own change programme to ensure that such issues are identified and is sponsoring modern slavery training.” (In development)

Since the ethical compliance committee covers MS risks. We consider training as MS training with respect to ethical compliance.

Pg. 11

“Additionally, the Group manages and governs modern slavery related risks via the Governance and Ethical Compliance Committee (GECC).”
