“In addition, we carried out an initial review in 2017, which we update regularly, to establish which of our suppliers had published statements and policies under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and have kept track of this information on our central register of suppliers. More generally, this review forms part of the due diligence process we undertake in relation to our supply chain, which also covers areas such as the origin of goods and our suppliers' compliance with best practices (e.g. in relation to the environment) and applicable industry standards (such as HACCP and relevant accreditations).”

“As part of the Policy, we require all of our suppliers to update their responses to the supplier appraisal form on an annual basis in order to monitor their compliance with our high standards and ensure alignment with our values. Through this process, we have identified and carried out further analysis of high risk suppliers in order to ensure their compliance with ethical business standards and the Modern Slavery Act 2015.”
