We will conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify areas within our operations and supply chains where there may be a risk of slavery, human trafficking, or forced labor. This assessment will include an evaluation of potential risks associated with geographical locations, specific industries, and business relationships.

Training will be ongoing and regularly updated to reflect changes in laws and best practices.
We encourage all employees to report any concerns related to slavery, human trafficking, or forced labor promptly. We will maintain confidential and accessible reporting mechanisms to allow for the safe and confidential reporting of any suspected incidents. Reports will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings.
We are committed to continually improving our anti-slavery efforts and monitoring the effectiveness of this policy. We will review and update the policy as needed, in response to changes in the law or best practices, and ensure it remains relevant and effective.
