- Training and Awareness: We provide training to our employees and key stakeholders to raise awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking. This training equips them with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify, prevent, and report any instances of potential abuse.
- Whistleblowing Mechanism: We maintain a confidential and anonymous whistleblowing mechanism that enables employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery or human trafficking. We investigate all reports promptly and take appropriate action when necessary.
- Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our due diligence processes and supply chain transparency. We actively engage with our suppliers, industry organizations, and stakeholders to share best practices and collaborate on addressing any identified risks.
