4) DUE DILLIGENCE PROCESSES.
We expect our employees, partners and suppliers to conduct business lawfully, ethically and with respect for fundamental human rights.
- carrying out supplier selection processes that consider reputation, scale and regulatory compliance;
- prioritising the use of established, reputable suppliers, particularly for critical services;
- reviewing supplier commitments to ethical conduct and responsible employment practices where appropriate;
- reserving the right to investigate or disengage from suppliers where concerns arise.
For public sector and regulated contracts, we also align our practices with applicable government guidance and procurement requirements.
5) RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT.
We recognise that modern slavery risks can vary by industry, geography and supply chain tier.
Based on our current operations:
- the overall risk of modern slavery within our direct business activities is assessed as low;
- higher-risk areas may arise further upstream in complex global supply chains (such as device manufacturing).
Where relevant, we mitigate these risks by:
- relying on major, regulated suppliers with established compliance frameworks;
- maintaining transparency and oversight within supplier relationships;
- escalating concerns promptly if identified.
6) MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS.
We assess the effectiveness of our approach to preventing modern slavery by:
To date, we are not aware of any confirmed incidents of modern slavery within our business of supply chain.
7) TRAINING AND AWARENESS.
We ensure that relevant employees are aware of:
- what slavery and human trafficking are;
- how to identify potential warning signs; and
- the importance of raising concerns.
Awareness is supported through internal communications and management oversight, particularly for staff involved in procurement, partner management and customer delivery.
