3. Supplier Due Diligence: We have established a robust due diligence process for our suppliers and business partners. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical practices and to have adequate measures in place to prevent modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains.
4. Code of Conduct: We maintain a Code of Conduct that outlines our expectations and standards regarding human rights, labor practices, and ethical behavior. We communicate this code to all our employees and expect our suppliers and business partners to adhere to similar principles.

Training and Awareness: We provide training and awareness programs to our employees to ensure they understand the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking and are equipped to identify and report any concerns. We also engage in ongoing communication and collaboration with our suppliers and business partners to promote awareness and best practices.

We have implemented robust reporting mechanisms, including a confidential whistleblowing hotline, to facilitate the reporting of such issues.
7. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to combat modern slavery. We regularly review and update our policies, procedures, and due diligence processes to ensure their effectiveness and alignment with emerging best practices.
