Due Diligence, Contractual Controls and Training
Our procurement contracts embed modern slavery clauses that require suppliers to comply with applicable labour laws, provide access for audits, and adopt remediation steps if lapses are found. We perform enhanced due diligence on higher‑risk suppliers and sub‑contractors involved in manual handling, temporary labour or third‑party recruitment.
