"Awareness

On joining the Group, each employee is provided with the Employee Handbook, which includes details of our conduct rules framework, and our expectation that they act with integrity, due skill, care, and diligence. We have a culture of ‘speaking up’ and our employees can report unethical behaviour or practices, such as suspected modern slavery, through internal and external channels set out in our ‘whistleblowing policy’. Compliance with the Handbook and our conduct rules is monitored by HR, and there are clearly defined procedures for the management of any conduct breaches. In the U.K. the whistleblowing policy is supported by annual training."
