"Due Diligence:We operate supply chains predominantly comprising of business and professional services organisations and have minimal contact with the countries and sectors that are generally considered to have a risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. Page 2 However, we take a risk-based approach to addressing matters of modern slavery and human trafficking within our supply chain, whereby we conduct due diligence on all new suppliers during the on-boarding process and at regular intervals with existing suppliers. This forms part of our wider due diligence assessment which includes a review of our suppliers’ other policies and standards.  As part of our approach to due diligence around modern slavery, we also review the prospective organisation’s modern slavery statement. Where one exists, we check that the statement and underlying policies are as rigorous as the Actrequires. For suppliers who do not publish a statement, we make use of a questionnaire to ensure that their approach to identifying and mitigating the risks of modern slavery again meets the same standards as those required by the Act. This approach ensures a consistent and rigorous approach to modern slavery across our supply chains.AwarenessOn joining the Group." p.1-2
