"Moving beyond Tier 1. A major focus of our activity in recent years has been to move beyond our rst tier suppliers, where some of the most serious labour issues such as modern slavery can occur. Up to 1,000 Tier 2 sites in 70 countries have now been included in our monitoring programme and we’ve provided support and training to our Tier 1 suppliers to help them risk-assess and manage issues in their supply chains."

"In 2016 we reviewed our approach to due diligence of our GSNFR suppliers, to ensure alignment with our new ET&HR Policy Position Statement and to address the challenge of modern slavery. As a result we’re making changes to our processes that will help increase the transparency of our GSNFR supply chains, provide a more rigorous and consistent approach to risk assessment, and enable better engagement with suppliers where issues are identified."
