Our commitment to a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery or human trafficking is reflected in our policies and procedures.
We consider that the environment we operate in and our internal procedures/due diligence on suppliers /employees are adequate to meet our responsibilities and obligations. Consequently, we do not consider any of our activities to be at high risk of slavery or human trafficking. We will, however, continue to keep our procedures under review.
