"If a supplier provides a non-compliant answer to any Responsible Business FSQS question such as the occurrence of an employment tribunal in the last three years, or non-compliance with the UK Modern Slavery Act, Supplier Managers are required to investigate and manage through to resolution.
For suppliers which represent the highest risk exposure to the Group, the Group Sourcing Supplier Assurance team conducts an annual programme of assurance reviews based on criticality. Suppliers that trigger agreed risk criteria are selected for an onsite supplier assurance visit. This review will test the supplier’s adherence to relevant Group policies which includes an assessment of modern slavery as appropriate. In 2018, there were c.180 site visits and no instances of modern slavery or human trafficking were identified."
