Due Diligence

As part of our efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, we carry out internal supplier reviews on an annual basis.

Risk and Compliance

We do not consider that we operate a high-risk environment because our suppliers are Group owned companies with strict modern slavery policies in place.
