- Periodically review our relationships with key suppliers to ensure alignment with our values.

- Strengthen our internal processes for assessing supplier practices and compliance.
- Increase awareness among staff about the risks of modern slavery and how to report concerns.
- Review and adapt our policies and procedures to reflect best practices and emerging risks.
