"We want to ensure that this procurement spend contributes to improving livelihoods and we continue to map and better understand the geographic location and nature of products and services sourced. The range of products, sourcing locations, markets and regulations associated with these purchases can present a risk and we apply a systematic approach to risk assessment that helps to identify and mitigate a range of risks, including the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking."

 

Pg 3

"As a Group, we have comprehensive structures in place to appropriately manage labour issues. In addition to our day-to-day people practices, we use a combination of internal assessments and independent ethical audits across our facilities to identify areas of potential risk. Our policies are communicated and available to all employees, ensuring that all colleagues are informed and understand our requirements. We also make employees aware of the means by which they can report concerns, including through the Group’s confidential reporting system. This independent platform is available in multiple languages and allows for the anonymous reporting at any time."

"While we are confident that these efforts are sufficient to mitigate the potential risk of forced labour within our operations, we remain vigilant and continue to look at ways to strengthen our approach."
