We train all internal teams working with our business and product supply chains. This includes sourcing, supply chain and logistics, product development, human resources, legal, construction, procurement and workplace services. In FY 2020/21, the supply chain, sourcing and product teams will receive online resources and a refresher training to raise awareness of modern slavery risks. page 14

We have trained finished goods suppliers, their key sub-contractors and key raw material suppliers on the identification of modern slavery and building systems to prevent the occurrence of modern slavery page 15

SUPPLY CHAIN TRAINING

In FY 2016/17, we provided day-long tailored training to suppliers on identifying and

combatting modern slavery. In-person training sessions were held with finished goods

vendors who together manufacture over 70% of our products. Initially, this training

was provided to key finished goods and raw material suppliers, third-party labour

contractors and suppliers operating in sectors with a greater risk of modern slavery

issues arising. Participants were required to develop and implement plans around

the recruitment and ongoing management of workers to reduce the risk of modern

slavery in their operations and supply chain. These plans continue to be monitored on

an ongoing basis by our responsibility team. In FY 2018/19, our UK responsibility team

completed an “Investigative Interviewing Skills” course developed and delivered by the

Gangmasters Labour Abuse Authority and Stronger Together. The skills learned have

been used to improve our ethical trading audit methodology and have provided insight

when working with our regional teams.14

INTERNAL TRAINING

Informed by Burberry’s Human Rights Impact Assessment, in FY 2016/17 we

developed a bespoke modern slavery and labour rights training programme in

collaboration with the ethical trade, human rights and labour standards consultancy,

Impactt. The training was delivered to key employee groups who interact with

Burberry’s supply chain networks. The targeted training helps those travelling to

supply chain facilities to be familiar with the risk areas, likely indications of human

rights abuses (including instances of modern slavery) and possible actions to take

if an incident of modern slavery is identified. In addition, we have trained members

of our human resources, health and safety, construction and fulfilment teams on

modern slavery, how to identify it and appropriate actions to take. This training has

helped embed respect for human rights and a policy of zero tolerance for modern

slavery throughout the business. In FY 2020/21 we will create new online resources

and refresher trainings to reach a wider audience of employees to further embed

awareness and risk mitigation into our culture.14

We will also develop online tools and resources to

provide employees with relevant training to help them identify risks of modern slavery

and to further embed risk mitigation into our culture. We believe that our focus on

transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain will help identify modern

slavery risks which can then be addressed. 16

I checked procurement because:

In FY 2020/21 158 members of our internal supply chain, sourcing, internal manufacturing and product teams received either introductory or refresher training. (p.10) 

I added in development because:

In FY2021/22 we will create new online resources and continue to conduct trainings to reach a wider audience of employees and further embed awareness and risk mitigation into our culture (p. 11)

In the coming year, we have set the target to cover 80% of our product supply vendors and raw

material suppliers, with training on modern slavery identification and management within their

own operations and extended supply chains. (p.11)
