[13428] What actions we take There are three staff employed on behalf of Taipower Bengalla to fulfil its role in the BJV
[13428] Taipower Bengalla is a minor participant in the BJV and BMC is a subsidiary of the New Hope Group, which is the majority holder (80%) in the BJV
[13428] As a result of its role, Taipower Bengalla has limited operational involvement in the day-to-day affairs of the BJV
[13428] In Taipower Bengallas regular BJV meetings, we review and assess the ongoing procurement process
[13428] Separately, Taipower Bengalla has a strong ethical framework with a commitment to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all that we do, and our approach to modern slavery risks is consistent with that approach
[13428] As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan Power Company, Taipower Bengalla is obliged to adhere to a suite of policies which reinforce how it conducts business, including: (a) Code of Conduct -Taiwan Power Company (b) WHS Policy - Taiwan Power Company, and (c) Enterprise Agreement between Taipower Labor Unit and Taiwan Power Company
[13428] How we assess the effectiveness of such actions Taipower Bengalla is engaged in ongoing and regular discussions about the effectiveness of its joint venture procurement processes, to the extent of its involvement in the day-to-day affairs of the BJV
[13428] Taipower Bengallas regular and ongoing focus on the effectiveness of the various procurement processes enhances the ability to take to identify risks, and where modern slavery risks are identified, escalate the same as appropriate
[14055] The questionnaire includes enquiries pertaining to respect for human rights and compliance with modern slavery laws
[14055] Depending on the response to the questionnaire, representatives of Sanofi may ask the suppliers for more information
[14055] In cases where a potential issue with a supplier is identified, Sanofi will undertake appropriate action dependent on the circumstances presented (and legal considerations), which may include, for example, training on modern slavery awareness, working with the supplier to develop an improvement plan, or declining to continue the supplier relationship
[14055] Contractual obligations
[14055] Sanofi Australias standard service agreements that may be provided to potential suppliers include an obligation that it will carry out any services in full compliance with all applicable laws (including laws prohibiting all forms of modern slavery with a specific requirement to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth))
[14055] Sanofi Australias standard service agreements also require suppliers to take reasonable steps to assess and address the risk of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains and to comply with Sanofis Suppliers Code of Conduct (a copy of which may be accessed at https://suppliers.sanofi.com/en/standards-and- procedures/sanofi-standards) which includes obligations in relation to respecting human rights (including prohibitions regarding forced labour, violence and harm, child labour, discrimination, working hours, pay, freedom of expression and equality of opportunity)

[11012] MODERN SLAVERY
[11012] RISK ASSESSMENT During the reporting period, Colin Biggers & Paisley built on its foundational responses set out in our previous Modern Slavery Statements
[11012] The assessment of modern slavery risks continued to be overseen by our Modern Slavery Working Group (MSWG)
[11012] The MSWG includes representatives from our responsible business team, office services and procurement team, and the risk and compliance team, who met regularly to ensure work was progressing and to discuss and resolve issues that arose
[11012] There were no significant changes to our suppliers in the reporting period
[11012] Most of our suppliers remain Australian-based, however, many of these suppliers themselves source goods or services from overseas
[11012] Some of these are from locations that may be more at risk of modern slavery
[11012] We recognise that the risks may be at the second or third stage removed from the party with which we have contracted
[13428] What consultation we engage in Taipower Bengalla regards its open and frank ongoing dialogue with its joint venture partner as playing a key role in its consultation process over the procurement and sourcing of the goods and services used in its joint venture business
[13428] Any other relevant information There is no other relevant information that Taipower Bengalla can provide at this time
[13428] This Statement will be published on the Australian Governments Online Register for Modern Slavery Statements

[11012] A more stringent and regular review process was implemented for the suppliers where these greater risks of down-stream supply chain modern slavery were identified
[11012] The MSWG used a risk-based analysis of our expenditure to identify particular areas of modern slavery risk
[11012] The process involved assessing the risk of each supplier based on: the type of product or service provided and procured; sector of operation; the geography of supply; steps taken to understand modern slavery risks within their own operations; and any known supplier-specific issues
[11012] Where a supplier had already made public its modern slavery statement, this was reviewed to provide further context
[11012] This analysis provided us with priority areas to focus our risk management efforts and due diligence for our suppliers
[11012] No actual or suspected cases of modern slavery were identified over the reporting period in our operations or supply chains
[11012] The procurement areas which continue to present the greatest risks of modern slavery in Colin Biggers & Paisley's procurement activities and provide the greatest leverage to drive positive change with our suppliers remain consistent with our previous Modern Slavery Statements and includes: We have not identified any specific instances of modern slavery and our analysis has found that most tier one suppliers pose a low risk of modern slavery

[13459] employees and contractors; and
[13459] suppliers and other third party business partners, to make them aware of HLR Auss approach to combating modern slavery risk and their corresponding obligations

[14094] Introduction
[4651] Below are descriptions of each of these relevant policies as they apply to Avis Budget Group
[4651] We have a global Code of Conduct which sets out Avis Budget Groups commitment to, among other things
[4651] Adhering to the highest standards of ethics
[4651] integrity and compliance in all aspects of
[4651] our business
[4651] Conduct our business in accordance with
[4651] all applicable laws, standards and ethical
[4651] business practices
[11012] Colin Biggers & Paisley is committed to the ongoing and evolving process of reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of our actions to identify and address modern slavery risks in our operations and across our supply chain
[11012] MSWG is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of actions taken to identify and address modern slavery
[11012] The actions taken to date include: continuing to engage with our suppliers, particularly the smaller suppliers, to improve their knowledge and understanding of modern slavery risks; comparing high risk supplier responses for the current and previous period for changes in their risk profiles
[11012] We have identified some areas to collaborate with our suppliers to further modern slavery awareness and understanding; reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure the effective monitoring and assessment of risks in our operations and with our suppliers
[11012] Our methodology, risk assessment and supplier due diligence will be subject to ongoing reviews
[11012] A key focus throughout FY23 will be further development and continuous improvement, as discussed below, in key areas including training, due diligence, and ongoing engagement with our suppliers
[11012] Over this and the coming reporting period, we are focusing on identifying how the modern slavery risk measures are being adopted across our practice with a particular focus on the level of engagement and responses we are achieving from our suppliers, our modern slavery training module and ensuring the effective implementation of our policies to combat modern slavery in our supply chains
[11012] CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Colin Biggers & Paisley's continuous improvement activities include plans to review, monitor and embed our processes by: 6 7
[13459] For 2021, the focus of HLRAs risk assessment was on suppliers and third party business partners who service HLRAs core business (eg distributors of HLRAs insurance products, IT suppliers and recruitment companies)
[13459] In 2022, HLR Aus undertook a further review of all suppliers and business partners including those that were new during the year
[13459] The risk assessment involved HLR Aus identifying certain attributes of these business partners and applying a risk matrix to determine the business partners perceived level of modern slavery risk as being either high, medium or low
[13459] HLR Aus has determined that the majority of its business partners continue to present low levels of modern slavery risk
[13459] As a control, HLR Aus includes appropriate contractual obligations reinforcing its minimum expectations of business partners with respect to modern slavery and imposing reporting requirements in relation to suspected modern slavery issues in their own operations and supply chains
