Our policies on slavery and human trafficking
As part of our commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking, we have developed and maintain internal policies and procedures to reinforce our approach. These documents are designed to be easy to use and are intended to assist our employees in their due diligence of suppliers.
In addition, we have a publicly available global Code of Conduct, which sends a clear message to our employees, business partners, stakeholders, and investors about our business principles and ethics.
Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking
We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to putting in place effective systems and controls which aim to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or in our supply chains. As part of this commitment, we focus on the welfare and safety of individuals at potential risk, undertake periodic due diligence reviews of our key suppliers and, where appropriate, provide support and guidance to help suppliers to address any concerns they might have in their own business and supply chain.
We take a risk-based approach and have developed our processes to create profiles of key and high-risk suppliers. Both new and existing key and high-risk suppliers are expected to adopt the same or similar standards to those contained within our policies and to hold their own suppliers to the same or similar standards.
Supplier adherence to our values
We operate our business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including laws against modern slavery, and we expect our suppliers to do the same. Our expectations are set out in our recently updated Code of Conduct for Representatives and Suppliers and in our newly launched Supplier Quality Manual.
In addition, we endeavour to include provisions within our purchase contracts that require suppliers to warrant that in performing their contractual obligations they will ensure that they and their sub-contractors shall:
Training
We believe in the importance of educating our employees on human rights issues and have launched bespoke training for relevant employees to help them to recognise the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain.
Through this training, our employees are guided to use our procedures to raise any concerns they might have, which includes access to an independent whistleblowing service.
Whistleblowing hotline and employee forums
Our third-party whistleblowing hotline, Safecall, is a fully confidential and independent service which provides our employees, representatives, and suppliers with a process to promptly raise concerns, including any concerns pertaining to violations of human rights. The service is available from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, in more than 175 languages and dialects.
This service is an added measure to ensure our compliance with all legal obligations and enhances our ability to promptly address ethical concerns, including those related to human rights.
During or following any visits with suppliers, our employees are expected to escalate conduct and/or ethical concerns of any type to their management team or via the Safecall whistleblowing hotline.
Employees at most of our businesses also have access to an Employee Forum via their Employee Representatives. Employee Representatives have the opportunity to raise and discuss topics of concern with members of the Senior Management Team at regular Employee Forum meetings.
Our effectiveness in combatting slavery and human trafficking
To date, we have not identified any current suspected incidences of modern slavery in our business or supply chain.
Further steps

Our Board-level Sustainability Committee, chaired by Sir Nigel Sheinwald, provides oversight of our wider Environmental, Social, and Governance (鈥淓SG鈥�) agenda. Modern slavery prevention is one of the key areas under the Governance section of the ESG agenda. To drive further progress in this area, we have taken the following actions:
