We select our suppliers with care. In order to identify and mitigate the risk of Modern Slavery in our supply chain we undertake checks / due diligence in connection with Modern Slavery on existing suppliers and prospective suppliers on a risk assessed basis.
In respect of existing clients, the outcome of this due diligence allows us to take appropriate steps to manage any risk of Modern Slavery including reconsidering the continued relationship with those suppliers. In respect of prospective suppliers, the outcome of this due diligence informs our decision to include them in our supply chain and, if so, whether appropriate contractual protections are to be included in our agreements with those suppliers to manage any perceived risk of Modern Slavery.
