[14358] Our supplier profile is a blend of local and international suppliers, including subsidiaries of large multinational firms
[14358] We have performed a high-level assessment of companies focussing on risk indicators in this space, such as; sector or industry risk, product & service risk, geographic risk, and supply chain model risk
[14358] Suppliers were selected based on if they had large annual spend or the supplier is involved in contracting staff, overseas owned, involved in shipping/logistics or have potentially riskier supply chains such as the packaging providers
[14358] Given the geographic locations and industries our supply chain covers, we have used publicly available resources (such as the Global Slavery Index) to assess the goods we source
[14358] The following categories are assessed as higher than usual risk
[14358] Fish feed (feed from suppliers includes various ingredients from (Peru, Chile, India, Thailand, and Brazil)
[14358] Packaging (our NZ-based suppliers manufacture in Europe, China and other Asian countries)
[7276] This Charter has been embedded in our new vendor application process, along with the mandatory requirements relating to payment and insurance details
[7276] FDC Modern Slavery Statement 2021 3 In 2020, FDC conducted a detailed analysis and risk assessment of our corporate and project supply chains
[7276] These findings were included in our Modern Slavery Statement 2020
[7276] Given the size, nature and diversity of our supply chains, FDC have committed to analysing and risk assessing, our supply chains on a biennial basis
[7276] The next risk assessment is planned for 2022
[7276] The FDC 2020 risk assessment determined that 27% of our corporate spend and 70% of our project spend, was evaluated as being potentially high risk with regards to the potential existence of modern slavery
[7276] Actions An area previously identified where FDC has the ability to exercise some influence to improve modern slavery outcomes, was in the area of labour practices
[7276] Unskilled and migrant labour have previously been identified as a primary source of human rights and modern slavery risk on all construction sites, including our own
[11135] Dentons will further enhance our due diligence practices on technology companies, with a focus on those who have identified offshore component manufacturers in their supply chains
[11135] Contractual terms have been made available to provide a baseline for our future supplier engagements
[11135] We will further look at implementing an online application to help us to ensure end to end risk assessment and better manager our data
[11135] A new Procurement Policy was developed and implemented
[11135] Continue to identify and implement improvements in our supplier procurement engagements to address modern slavery risk through our Modern Slavery working group described below
[11135] Education of our employees via internal training modules and our suppliers through regular communication was conducted and further entrenchment of the program into the culture of our organisation and those we work with
[11135] Continue to roll out our internal online training annually to all existing staff and ensure all new staff complete the training through our induction program
[11135] These education and communication mechanisms allowed Dentons to proactively manage any actual or emerging rights risks in a coordinated way with our suppliers
[13656] Individuals employed by all Garmin companies, including Garmin Australasia and the Garmin affiliates that manufacture products, are subject to Garmins Code of Conduct and Modern Slavery Policy

[14358] Fish pens, nets and ropes (these products are manufactured in India)
[14358] Stationery (our stationery supply chain, which includes paper, could include countries where modern slavery is prevalent)
[14358] Electric vehicles (the electric vehicle industry relies on lithium and rare earth minerals, some of which eg cobalt come from high-risk countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo)
[14358] Of these categories, fish feed comprises a significant component of our spend in FY23 (29 percent), while packaging makes up 3 percent
[14358] In FY23 spend on pens, nets, ropes and stationery are minimal on overall YTD spend

[7276] Our sites have improved the identification and verification processes of all workers entering and visiting our sites
[7276] The increased use of a variety of technological tools have been implemented across our business and sites to assist us
[7276] FDC have drawn on our own resources and those provided by other industry participants, to increase awareness at our sites of the issues of modern slavery as well as some of the alternative remedial avenues available
[7276] Site signage tailored for the construction industry have been developed and selectively implemented across certain FDC sites, as part of our efforts to improve worker and employee awareness of modern slavery
[7276] Site inductions and toolbox talks have also been used as a means of communicating these issues with the workforce
[7276] Our businesses have engaged in excess of 2,000 new contractors and suppliers over the past 18 months, each of whom have acknowledged receipt and understanding of the expectations and requirements of our Charter, including their acceptance to work with us on this issue, if required
[7276] FDC see this as an integral part of our ongoing responsibility to raise awareness, amongst our supply chain
[11135] Continue to educate our suppliers of our commitment to addressing modern slavery risks by offering our suppliers access to our online training module
[11135] We developed a training module for staff to be accessed on our internal online training platform and have made this training compulsory for all existing staff and through our induction program for new staff from June 2021
[11135] Establish a Modern Slavery working group who will develop a 3-year action plan
[11135] This will help us to better measure the effectiveness of our strategy and continuously review our priorities and performance
[11135] The working group will
[11135] Undertake an annual review of our modern slavery risk assessment methodology
[11135] Review existing policies concerning modern slavery to ensure they continue to mitigate our
[11135] Proposed action in FY21/22 outcomes FY22/23 planned actions exposure to modern slavery and human rights risks
[13656] requires that upstream suppliers guarantee employees freedom of movement and freedom of association; and
[13656] mandates that upstream suppliers conduct due diligence to identify and prevent forced labour and human trafficking within their own supply chains
[13656] Instances of noncompliance are subject to action, which may include termination of relationship with the upstream supplier
[13656] Therefore, Garmin Australasia believes that the risk of modern slavery in Garmin Australasia and throughout the entire Garmin groups operations is mitigated

[7276] FDC are certified and rated by the international ESG platform EcoVadis, and this year achieved a significantly improved rating, largely due to an improvement in the processes relating to our management of modern slavery, human rights and other ethical considerations in our supplier selection
[7276] FDC acknowledge that we still have room for improvement in this area and are currently in the process of developing a more detailed ESG supplier assessment and selection process for our business
[7276] Future Actions The biennial review and risk assessment of FDCs supply chain is due to be undertaken in 2022
[7276] This review will be based on the learnings of this and previous years experiences and will include a more detailed assessment of some of the higher risk categories previously identified, such as labour hire, partitioning, rendering, plastering, security, cleaning, painting, mechanical services and technology
[7276] FDC Modern Slavery Statement 2021 4 A supply chain mapping study is anticipated to be undertaken on one of our higher-risk procurement categories during 2022/2023

[11135] Ensure any identified risks and concerns are brought to the attention of senior personnel and a response plan is followed
[11135] Training of the Dentons Board around the Modern Slavery risks and reporting requirements was undertaken
[11135] Provide updated training to the Dentons Board about modern slavery risks in our supply chain
[11135] The draft policy was not approved by the Dentons Board during this reporting year but we will have it approved in FY22/23
[11135] The policy provides a guideline for our complaints, grievances, and remediation process to ensure we respond appropriately to any perceived, actual, or emerging Modern Slavery risks
[11135] Dentons Board to approve draft Modern Slavery policy developed in FY21/22 Measuring our effectiveness Our enhanced procurement and supplier due diligence process Dentons has enabled Dentons to track the progress of our modern slavery program via the engagement of our suppliers, the number and timeliness of responses to our queries and feedback on our supplier code of conduct
[11135] Dentons can now measure our programs effectiveness through our employees completion rate of training modules as well as their ability to confidently challenge and educate our suppliers
[13656] The Code of Conduct includes guidelines and policies covering human rights, freedom of association, and freedom of movement

[13656] There were no instances of modern slavery found within or reported to the Company in the year ended Dec 31, 2022
[13656] Describe how the reporting entity assesses the effectiveness of these actions As the Companys suppliers are related Garmin entities, the Company has confidence that controls and processes are in place to ensure compliance with global policies relating to human rights and modern slavery
[13656] Garmins global group conducts a top-down governance model on corporate responsibility matters, including those pertaining to human rights and modern slavery, and evaluates the effectiveness of actions on a regular basis and implements remediation plans when necessary
[13656] Describe the process of consultation with any entities the reporting entity owns or controls The New Zealand Branch is subject to the same global policies relating to human rights and modern slavery as the Company
[13656] The impacts of COVID-19 Garmin has taken additional measures to provide a safe and healthy work environment for employees and guests of our facilities
[14358] All NZ-based contractors are screened through Rapid Global, our pre-qualification system, which ensures at the company level contractor compliance with our health and safety and national labour and immigration (visa) laws
[14358] Our contracting includes a mix of highly skilled and base-skilled labour
[14358] We have a small number of highly skilled business development contractors based in Europe, China, and Japan
[14358] While we work to minimise our use of labour-hire contractors, we inevitably require additional support in our busy periods and post covid where employee shortages are an industry-wide norm
[14358] Given our limited overall use of labour contractors, the primarily NZ-based nature of our contractors, and the pre-qualification process and safeguards we have in place (see section 4 below), we assess the risk of modern slavery in our contractors as low
[14358] Our policies
[14358] NZKS is committed to providing a work environment for all employees free from discrimination and harassment, where employees feel safe at work and are treated with respect
[7276] This study is intended to go beyond the first and second tiers of the manufacturing process, where possible
[7276] As part of our commitment to improving our environmental and social governance (ESG) practices, FDC will be engaging the services of professionals to conduct an evaluation of our existing ESG practices against AS/ISO 20400:2018 Sustainable procurement Guidance
[7276] Once these findings and recommendations have been assessed and agreed, FDC will move to implement these improved practices across our business as soon as practicable
[7276] Future initiatives will also include multi-lingual anti-slavery signage in some of the higher risk language categories that may present at certain selected FDC sites
[7276] These resources will include additional information regarding avenues of reporting and remedial actions available for any suspected incidence of modern slavery, that may be encountered
[7276] These methods will complement the existing means of remedy included in the FDC Whistle-blower Policy
[7276] COVID-19 Impacts
[7276] A positive and unforeseen consequence of COVID-19 has been the increased requirements placed on contractors to ensure that all workers and visitors to our sites are legally, eligible to do so
[11135] With the formation of the Dentons Modern Slavery Working Group this financial year we will be able to meet to measure the effectiveness of our strategies and review our priorities and performance and continue to make improvements in Dentons engagement with our suppliers
[11135] Consultation within our group All entities owned or controlled by Dentons Australia Limited have been included in our risk-based approach to the identification, assessment, and mitigation of modern slavery risks
[11135] They have been made aware of the actions they need to take and will be developing their frameworks, policies, and procedures in line with the emerging Australian and international legislation in this space

[11282] Modern Slavery Statement 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022
[13656] Garmin has provided additional benefits to assist employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may include flexible work arrangements, remote work access and flexible paid leave policies
[13656] As uncertainty in supply chains caused by COVID-19 may increase modern slavery risks, Garmin has focused on maintaining positive relations with our suppliers and conducting continual evaluation of our supplier expectations and Supplier Code of Conduct
[13656] Garmin has also implemented strategies to manage inventory levels and safety stock to reduce the risk of undue hardships placed on suppliers
[13656] This Modern Slavery Statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Garmin Australasia Pty Ltd
[13656] Matthew Thomas, Director
[13833] Avery Dennison Materials Pty Ltd 4 Duigan Drive, Moorabbin Airport VIC 3194 Phone: 03 9271 0300 ABN 92 007 706 934 Modern Slavery Statement Avery Dennison This Statement is submitted on behalf of Avery Dennison Materials Pty Ltd (ABN 92 007 706 934) (AD Materials) under section 13 of the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (MSA) to cover the reporting period of 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022
[13833] Criteria 1 and 2: Identification, Structure, Operations and Supply Chain 1.1
[13833] Identification and Structure The ultimate parent company is Avery Dennison Corporation (USA)
[14358] As a company operating globally and a significant employer in our region, the backbone of our respect for and responsibilities to our team members are specified in our formal policies managed by our People and Culture department
[14358] In FY23, there were no significant changes to the policies listed below
[14358] Our Code of Conduct sets out expectations of both employees and NZKS as an employer
[14358] NZKS' obligations include fair and open selection procedures, fair pay rates and good and safe working conditions, including freedom from discrimination and harassment
[14358] Examples of serious employee misconduct are also provided, including misconduct by employees, which include falsifying NZKS documents and records, misrepresenting NZKS for personal gain and seeking or accepting bribes
[14358] In any such case, NZKS will determine whether disciplinary action up to or including dismissal is warranted
[14358] Our Freedom of Association Policy enshrines our commitment to recognise and respect team members' rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining
[14358] Wilful breaches of this policy may be treated as serious misconduct
[7276] This increased scrutiny and transparency of the workforce has had the effect of reducing some of the risks associated with certain categories of unskilled labour on our sites and in our industry
[7276] This has had an improved effect on the transparency and labour management processes of many of the smaller subcontractors that we engage across our sites
[7276] This is particularly relevant regarding the participation of migrant workers and working visa holders at our sites, in ensuring that all required labour standards are communicated and met
[7276] These increased requirements on subcontractors to validate the personal identification, residency and visa status of their workers has increased protections for this more vulnerable sector of the labour force
[7276] An unintended consequence of this increased transparency is the possibility of driving some of these less scrupulous operators and practices underground and into less visible areas of the labour market
[7276] FDC implement the same site sign in and verification processes across all our sites and across all sub-contractors, regardless of size or reputation
[7276] The well documented disruptions to domestic and international supply chains, have again resulted in FDC continuing to diversify our product sourcing and have resulted in an increased use of domestically manufactured products, wherever practicable to do so
[7276] Although still containing an element of risk, domestically and directly sourced product is regarded as being at lower risk of modern slavery in its manufacture, than certain internationally sourced and third party procured goods
[11282] Introduction The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (the Act) was introduced by the Australian Government on 1 January 2019 and requires certain entities to report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains and actions taken to mitigate against those risks
[11282] This statement is prepared for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 (Reporting Period)
[11282] Modern Slavery describes situations where coercion, threats or deception are used to exploit victims and undermine or deprive them of their freedom
[11282] In preparing this Statement, Nexus Hospitals recognises that the nature and extent of modern slavery means that there is a high risk it is present within our supply chains and is committed to continuously improving our understanding of modern slavery, assessing our own risks around modern slavery and reducing these risks over time
