Remediation and Corrective Actions

Where instances of non-compliance are identified, the organisation will take proportionate remedial steps, which may include supplier corrective action plans, suspension of procurement, termination of contracts, worker remediation, and cooperation with relevant authorities where required.

Training and Communication

Appropriate training is provided to employees, procurement staff, and others with supply chain responsibilities. Communication of the policy to suppliers is mandatory and forms part of contractual terms for new and existing suppliers.

Reporting and Whistleblowing

Employees, suppliers, and third parties may report concerns or suspected violations without fear of retaliation. The organisation maintains confidential reporting channels and investigates all credible allegations.

Supply Chain Requirements
