originate from one of the following sources:

• Whistleblowing
• Employee or third party communications
If our employees are visiting a factory as part of their role and identify something of concern, they can contact our COP team
directly. On the occasions when this has happened we have been able to put an appropriate response or action plan in place. This reflects the positive engagement of our employees and their awareness of modern slavery issues which supports the work of the COP team.' - 7
