- Zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking and expect our supply chain and contractors to comply with our values.
We have continued to raise Modern Slavery awareness within our business and our supply chain by reviewing and updating our detailed activity specific risk assessments and we continue to improve processes and practices as a result of these reviews. We will continue to communicate details of responsibility, compliance, reporting, awareness and risk associated with Modern Slavery in relation to procurement and supply chains.
