Modern-Slavery-Statement-2021

DUE DILIGENCE As noted above, we undertook risk assessments to identify any key modern slavery risks that existed within our operations and supply chains. It was identified that our highest risk was in the products we procure and resell to our customers and this was the key focus area for this reporting period. All product suppliers were given a risk rating under our Modern Slavery Risk Assessment Framework (which as noted above is based on a matrix of geographic location and the level of automation in the production of goods). In FY2021, we did not identify any high risk suppliers. We identified twelve significant suppliers (significant defined as an annual purchase of more than 0.7% of annual purchases) as presenting a medium risk of modern slavery. GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK An internal modern slavery working group leads the assessment of our risks of modern slavery and implement actions to address those risks. The Modern Slavery working group comprises the General Manager – Strategic Sourcing & Marketing, Manager – HR and Compliance, as well as two Group Category Managers (who are responsible for the appointment and management of suppliers). Since our last reporting period we have further embedded this working group into our business and have expanded membership to include Manager – Import Category. . ACTIONS TO ASSESS AND ADDRESS RISK We understand the importance of working collaboratively with our employees, suppliers and the broader industry to combat modern slavery. Over this reporting period, we have made significant progress in implementing further steps to assess and address modern slavery in our operations and supply chains. These additional steps include the rollout of our supplier terms and conditions and self assessment questionnaires across all suppliers identified as medium risk in the previous reporting period. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Our policies and procedures ensure we have strong frameworks to enable us to assess and address modern slavery risks. These policies and procedures include: - a Modern Slavery Risk Assessment Framework to give all suppliers a risk rating; and - Supplier Terms and Conditions– which were introduced for our Local Tier 1 Suppliers (being those suppliers with which we have preferred supplier arrangement in place); - Ethical Sourcing Policy – which was modified to add an overview of modern slavery; - our supplier introduction process – which includes a modern slavery risk assessment; - Self-assessment questionnaire – which audits the ethical business practices and modern slavery risks within our Local and Import Tier 1 Suppliers being defined as suppliers with annual purchases of more than 0.7% of total purchases: and - Grievance mechanism – which allows employees to easily and anonymously raise concerns of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. 6
