Our Processes for Managing Risk

To evaluate the risk of modern slavery, we employ the following procedures in our interactions with suppliers:

When engaging with suppliers, we request documentation that substantiates their procedures and policies. This encompasses their commitments regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, human rights, and whistle-blowing.

We execute thorough audits before formalizing any commercial partnerships with businesses that exhibit potential risk. These audited entities constitute the foundation of our preferred supplier list.

We regularly reassess the risk potential, considering the need for re-auditing suppliers or performing spot checks as necessary.

Following careful examination, we have not identified any significant instances of modern slavery, forced labor, or human trafficking within our supply chain. Nonetheless, we maintain vigilance concerning potential issues.

Furthermore, we have implemented the subsequent measures to mitigate any potential challenges:

• We retain the authority to carry out spot checks on our suppliers when investigating complaints.
• We mandate that our partner businesses adhere to our code of supplier conduct.
• We engage in collaborative efforts with our suppliers to enhance standards and transparency throughout our supply chain.

Additionally:

• Only senior staff members who have undergone specialized training to assess modern slavery risks in the supply chain are authorized to formalize contracts and establish commercial relationships in high-risk areas.
• We ensure that all our suppliers are affiliated with relevant industry bodies and participate in working groups.
• We actively encourage all staff to promptly report any concerns they may have to the management team.
