Our Processes for Managing Risk

In assessing the risk of modern slavery, we:

Identify and assess potential risk areas when considering new suppliers and regularly review existing supply chains.
Review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including supplier re-audits or spot checks.
Protect whistle-blowers.
While we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain, we remain vigilant and proactive in addressing potential issues.

To maintain awareness and understanding of modern slavery and human trafficking risks, our Modern Slavery Policy is included in our Employee Handbook. We conduct regular training sessions as part of our induction program to ensure all staff members are informed and equipped to identify and report any concerns.
