• Contractual obligations: We include anti-slavery clauses in contracts with key suppliers where appropriate.

• Supplier audits: We reserve the right to audit suppliers or request documentation regarding their anti-slavery policies.

• Country risk profiling: When outsourcing internationally, we review country risk ratings based on data from the Global Slavery Index and other sources.
