Looking to the future


We continue to ensure respect for human rights is consistently applied throughout our business. We are working with colleagues, our supply chains, and relevant partners to ensure we identify and assess risk, apply due diligence, and take any necessary steps to deliver our human rights and modern slavery agenda.


Our commitment to address modern slavery risks starts at Board level and is embedded into key business processes.


About the statement

— Policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking.


— Risk assessment and management. — Due diligence processes.


— Key Performance Indicators to measure the effectiveness of steps being taken.
