Our Processes for Managing Risk
In order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes:

- Protect whistle blowers
After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our supply chain. However, we continue to be alert to the potential for problems.
