Considering channels as hotline here.

pg. 9

"3. Improve channels available to whistleblowers, both in our business and externally, so that employees and suppliers feel confident raising concerns of modern slavery or labour exploitation"

pg. 14

"LOOKING FORWARD

• Formalise an escalation process to ensure those involved understand how to react and handle a case of modern slavery and effective safeguarding of the victim and develop effective whistleblowing mechanisms for both internal and external stakeholders"

The company only mentions having grievance mechanisms (p.6) and whistleblowing channels but they never disclose which ones. Therefore, I have unchecked the answer of Hotline, email and form for direct employees and suppliers.

 

The company does mention working on these mechanisms (p. 9 & 14) so I have left In development checked but only for employees as it does not mention this being targeted for suppliers.
