Our Due Diligence Processes

The Company addresses the need to consider the risk of modern slavery in its supply chain by conducting appropriate due diligence processes across its suppliers. For this purpose, the Company operates a Sustainable Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct.

All suppliers are expected to sign the Supplier Code of Conduct, which sets out the standards of expected behaviour also in respect to the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Our Sustainable Procurement Policy sets out the steps that the Company takes to minimise modern slavery risks. These include:

1. Conducting audits of our top 10 suppliers every two to three years.

2. Including social and environmental clauses in our suppliers’ contracts.

3. Screening our potential suppliers through on-site audits on environmental and social issues.

4. Training employees responsible for procurement and supply chain in the Company’s Sustainable Procurement Policy.

We continue to develop our supplier monitoring and due diligence as part of our overall assessments.

Our Goals and Performance Indicators

In the financial year 2023, no reports of modern slavery practices were received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies. Our audits and 2024 risk assessment will further develop appropriate performance indicators to monitor progress.

Training

The Company requires staff to participate in modern slavery training and is reviewing its training in relation to procurement and supply chain for 2024.
