We will require them to adhere to ethical standards, and we may conduct audits or assessments to verify compliance. If any supplier is found to engage in activities related to modern-day slavery, we will take appropriate actions, which may include termination of the business relationship.
Training and Awareness: We will provide training and awareness programs to ensure that all employees, particularly those involved in procurement, supply chain management, and human resources, understand the risks and indicators of modern-day slavery. This training will empower them to identify and report any potential issues promptly.
