We also have a Code of Conduct that all employees are required to adhere to. The Code of Conduct outlines our expectations regarding human rights and labour standards, including our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.

Our Due Diligence Process

We carry out due diligence on all new suppliers before we begin working with them. This includes reviewing their policies and procedures, as well as conducting site visits where necessary. We also carry out regular audits of our suppliers to ensure they are meeting our expectations with respect to human rights and labour standards.

Training and Awareness

We provide training to our employees on modern slavery and human trafficking. This training includes information on how to identify the signs of modern slavery and how to report any concerns.

We also ensure that all of our suppliers are aware of our policies and expectations with respect to modern slavery and human trafficking.

Reporting and Whistleblowing

We encourage our employees, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns they may have regarding modern slavery and human trafficking. Reports can be made to our HR department or through our anonymous reporting hotline.
