[4305] To mitigate the risks of human trafficking and modern slavery, SYKES has both internal, employeefocused human resources policies, as well as external, supplierfocused statements and a code of conduct
[4305] SYKES has a number of human resource and supply chain policies in place
[4305] We confirm the identities of all employees and confirm that they are of minimum legal employment age
[10959] These key five values are the driving principles of the way we conduct our business and relationships with clients, customers, suppliers and other external stakeholders
[10959] Policy framework Our employees and contractors are encouraged to raise suspected cases of slavery, human trafficking or any unethical behaviour or conduct within our own operations or our supply chains using the procedures outlined in our whistleblowing policy
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions values its culture of developing and fostering high standards of ethical and moral business conduct, and through the whistleblowing policy protected disclosures can be made by our employees, which are promptly reviewed and where applicable, investigated
[10959] If employees are aware of any violation of the law or company rules, including any modern slavery practices, we also encourage employees to contact Planit Test Management Solutions' global parent company, NRI Group's, Global Whistleblowing hotline immediately
[10959] The helpline is managed by an independent firm and all reports made are anonymously and treated in the strictest of confidence
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions is committed to ensuring that our employees can raise concerns without fear of retaliation or negative consequences
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions also has Fraud and Corruption Guidelines in place which outlines the principles we use to manage our risk of exposure to fraud and corruption and the shared responsibility of our management personnel and employees in preventing and addressing fraud

[14055] Modern Slavery Statement, June 2023
[14055] /6 Sanofi Australia Modern Slavery Statement 2022
[14055] Introduction
[14055] Our Structure
[4305] We ensure all policies and procedures are applicable to our homebased employee work force
[4305] We conduct the appropriate background due diligence investigations on our suppliers
[4305] As an organization with operations in multiple countries worldwide, we organizationally stand behind the prevention of modern day slavery and human trafficking across our global operations
[4305] All supplier contracts undergo a formal review process, which includes procurement, departmental and legal review and signoff to ensure that our suppliers meet our rigorous standards with respect to the prevention of human trafficking and modern slavery
[4305] Our statement for the Prevention of Involuntary Labor and Human Trafficking prohibits our suppliers and their affiliates, subsidiaries, subcontractors and thirdparty labor providers or recruiters from using labor below minimum legal employment age, or trafficking persons or using any form of slave, forced, bonded, indentured, or prison labor
[4305] Our suppliers shall not withhold workers original governmentissued identification and travel documents
[4305] We define involuntary labor to include the transportation, harboring, recruitment, transfer, receipt, or employment of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, fraud, or payments to any person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation
[4305] Employee Awareness and Training
[10959] The guidelines reinforce Planit Test Management Solutions' zero tolerance approach to fraud and corrupt practices
[10959] Our guidelines are also consistent with AS8001:2008, Fraud and Corruption Control Standards (Australia and New Zealand) and UK legislation in relation to fraud and corruption
[10959] Where an employee has knowledge of an occurrence of irregular conduct or has reason to suspect that fraud has occurred, the Fraud and Corruption Guidelines set out the process and responsibilities of all employees to notify appropriate management personnel so that an investigation can be undertaken where deemed appropriate and necessary and the involvement of appropriate law enforcement officials where necessary
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions' Code of Conduct sets the standards for the behaviour and conduct of our employees and contractors on a global scale across all our international offices
[10959] The Code of Conduct is aligned with our five key values as a business, as outlined above, which together set out the standards all workers must comply with, including in interactions or dealings with our clients, suppliers, contractors and the public
[10959] www.planittesting.com We have a robust recruitment and selection policy to ensure all recruitment decisions are in line with our values, are based on merit, and are consistently and fairly applied
[10959] The following steps are also undertaken by Planit Test Management Solutions to identify, address, and mitigate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our own operations
[13357] We operate from a position of trust and hope that our suppliers are honest in their responses
[13357] We are however conscious of the fact that without being on the ground, it is difficult to verify the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by suppliers
[13357] We work hard to ensure a thorough due diligence process and we continue to monitor our approach to ensure it is appropriate
[13357] In FY23 EROADs Supply Team was able to travel to supplier locations to meet with workers and personally assess their working conditions
[13357] This naturally afforded us the opportunity to verify the accuracy of supplier self-assessments
[13357] We visit suppliers to assess truth of questionnaire responses and supplier declarations
[13357] If visits show deception on the part of the supplier, we request additional information
[13357] To date we have not uncovered any modern slavery issues

[14055] Further Steps and Remediation 10
[14055] Consultation Process
[4305] SYKES employees are required to annually review and participate in a number of ethics and awareness communications and training programs
[4305] While none of these programs currently specifically address human trafficking, we are researching an appropriate training and/or awareness platform to educate employees about human trafficking and how to respond
[4305] Monitoring Effectiveness SYKES management expects high standards of both employees and our suppliers
[4305] We actively consider opportunities to further extend our due diligence and auditing processes to prevent modern day slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and across our business
[4305] In particular
[4305] SYKES employees were held to the highest standards of ethical behavior and integrity, with an ongoing expectation that they will comply with the companys Standards of Business Conduct
[4305] SYKES continues to expect our suppliers, both domestic and foreign, to abide by our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines our expectations for suppliers ethics and standards of conduct, business integrity, human rights, and labor practices
[10959] all employees have a contract of employment that sets out the rights and obligations arising from their employment, including compliance with policies and procedures and the notice period needed for them to terminate their employment contract and leave Planit Test Management Solutions employment
[10959] Employees are free to serve notice at any time
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions carries out verification of an employee's identity and ongoing right to work in each country of operation and does not seek to withhold any of an employee's identity documents, such as their passport, for example
[10959] all employees are paid at least the relevant national minimum wage and Planit Test Management Solutions adheres to all legislation in respect of working time and statutory time off, providing for minimum amounts of holiday, time off due to personal emergencies, sickness and parental leave and minimum rest breaks
[10959] This is applicable to award and or above the legislated requirements in each operating country; and
[10959] all employees are required to undergo a comprehensive background check before commencing employment with Planit Test Management Solutions and every two years after their commencement
[10959] Planit Test Management Solutions expects its suppliers to maintain the highest standards of ethical business behaviour and conduct, and to become familiar with and comply with all laws that are relevant to the supplier relationship, including the laws that govern Planit Test Management Solutions
[10959] The following steps are undertaken to identify, address, and mitigate the risk of modern slavery or human trafficking within our supply chains
[13357] If we were to find workers are not being treated in a safe and healthy manner, we take this extremely seriously
[13357] In FY23 we were recommended a supplier, but upon visiting the facility we determined that the health and safety conditions were not appropriate - respiratory requirements were not being met and as a result, we chose not to engage with this supplier on that basis
[13357] EROAD is committed to taking meaningful action to identify, mitigate and manage any modern slavery risks in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy
[13357] Recruitment and Employment Practices
[13357] EROADs People & Capability Team is responsible for making sure that modern slavery does not feature in EROADs internal operations
[13357] We have robust processes in place around pre- employment screening, employment conditions and workplace behaviour
[13357] Expectation of workplace behaviour and employee safety is provided to all EROADers when they commence their employment with EROAD
