Key policies that relate to our approach to minimising the risk of modern slavery occurring within our supply chain include our Contract Approval & Monitoring Policy, External Equal Opportunities Polices and Anti-Bribery & Corruption policy.
Supplier Due Diligence Process
We continue to strive to work with individuals and organisations whom share our values and culture.
​
This practice continues to include contractual provisions relating to legislative compliance within all supplier agreements. Over time, more of these have evolved to specifically reference the Modern Slavery Act. In addition, wherever possible we utilise a contractual right to audit key suppliers and the process for the same involves due diligence of compliance with the Act.
​
At the time of making this statement, we have reviewed our supplier audit template to ensure it remains fit for purpose and adequately captures the information required to consider emerging risks. Our questionnaires specifically query the policies and controls an organisation has in place to ensure compliance with the Act as well as their requirement to publish a statement.
