DUE DILIGENCE PROCESSES FOR SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

We identify and assess the risk of potential slavery and human trafficking risk areas in our supply chains using a number of factors including the supplier’s geographical location and the industry in which they operate. As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate the potential risk, we assess all existing and new suppliers and have in place a supply chain compliance programme, which consists of:

Requiring all staff to comply with the applicable provisions relating to Modern Slavery as set out in our Corporate Offences Policy and to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.

· Requiring suppliers to agree to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and that they will adhere to the principles relating to modern slavery as set out in our Corporate Offences Policy before they are approved and included in or allowed to continue to be included in, our supply chain.

Requiring all new suppliers to agree to contractual obligations to avoid slavery and human trafficking and all existing contracts to include these contractual obligations at the next renewal or extension.

· Encouraging all staff and third parties to raise any concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of the business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage and to notify a manager, a senior point of contact and/or the Legal Department.

· Establishing clear communications regarding the Corporate Offences Policy and the Company’s zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery between all managers who are responsible for the procurement of goods and/or services and all third parties during the procurement process and/or at the outset of each business relationship.

· Protecting staff from victimisation or retaliation if they raise concerns about slavery and human trafficking, even if raised in error.

· Taking any allegation of potential slavery and human trafficking seriously and investigating any allegation diligently. TRAINING To raise awareness of the potential risks of slavery and human trafficking, we provide guidance and training to support our employees’ understanding of expected behaviours. All staff have been provided with our Corporate Offences Policy and are made aware of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business.
