Supply Chain Risk Management

We map our supply chain and identify areas of heightened risk, particularly where labour-intensive services are provided, including vehicle maintenance, manual handling and off-site waste processing. As part of our procurement process, we require suppliers to acknowledge our anti-slavery expectations and demonstrate compliance through documentation, policies and the provision of worker information where appropriate.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We undertake regular supplier audits and targeted due diligence. Audits include site visits, review of employment records, verification of pay and working hours, and interviews with workers when practicable. Suppliers classified as high-risk are audited annually, while medium-risk suppliers receive periodic checks. Findings are recorded and tracked; remediation plans are required for any non-compliance, and continued failure to meet standards can lead to contract termination.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain accessible reporting channels to enable workers, partners and the public to report concerns anonymously or directly.

If required, matters will be referred to relevant authorities and law enforcement. Our reporting framework includes internal hotlines, confidential email routes, and an internal case management process to ensure timely resolution.
