You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage. We will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

If you are unsure about whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitutes any of the various forms of modern slavery, raise it with your manager or the Human Resource Manager. All concerns will be investigated thoroughly by a line manager in conjunction with HR, the supplier will be suspended whilst the concern is investigated and if deemed appropriate the matter will be referred to the relevant authorities.

Any supplier or subcontractor found to be in breach of this policy may have their contract terminated immediately.
