Our Supply Chain

The Group recognise that our greatest exposure to the risk of modern-day slavery and people trafficking is within our supply chain. To tackle this risk, we carry out an annual review of our suppliers to ensure that they comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We will continue to monitor our suppliers to ensure they are compliant with all applicable modern slavery legislative requirements. Version 004 – July 2024 Prior to business award or contract renewal, all current and prospective suppliers go through a due diligence process. The Group’s internal teams will coordinate to evaluate products, services or supplies against our existing policies and procedures. To ensure our suppliers and contractors comply with Modern Slavery law, where appropriate, our supplier agreements require the third party to comply with all appropriate legislation. The Group expect all suppliers to demonstrate awareness, policy, and measures for driving any area of concern out of their business, with performance monitored through regular supplier review meetings. The Group continuously review and evolve our processes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business.
