[3584] As a globally operating organisation, Munich Re procures many different goods and services throughout the world
[3584] By purchasing at best total value in terms of quality, time and cost, while ensuring compliance at all times, the procurement functions throughout the Group seek to deliver a substantial and lasting contribution to the success of Munich Re
[3584] Munich Re has established a due diligence process for identi- fying, analysing, assessing, and managing potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chains, which we describe in more detail for all identified dimensions below
[3584] All Munich Re processes and rules described below apply to all reporting entities
[3584] Measures that apply only to GLISE are described as such
[5284] Ally Fashions in-house design team designs product ranges which are manufactured in-house at our factories in China
[5284] Our head office comprises support functions including finance, marketing, IT, buying, design, quality assurance, store development and management, visual merchandising, operations, supply chain and logistics, legal, human resources, and planning
[5284] Merchandise is distributed to our store networks and online orders received via our websites are fulfilled via Ally Fashions warehouses located in Australia
[5284] Ally Fashions stores are stocked with products that are sourced internationally by both our brand partners as well as our own in-house designed brands with supply chains located in China
[5284] In this reporting period, we have chosen to focus on the present risks with our current suppliers and contractors, since we possess the strongest relationships with these businesses, and have the greatest influence within these groups
[5284] In the future, this will be addressed by assessing and understanding risks that exist within our suppliers supply chains
[5284] Our Supply Chain
[5284] Our product design team is based in our Sydney head office, with all our products manufactured by our manufacturing team in China
[10291] c) Nomination and Remuneration Committee: At Atturra, we have processes in place to ensure employees are paid correctly and the hours worked by employees are monitored
[10291] The Nomination and Remuneration Committee oversees the process of appointment and remuneration of directors, senior executives and employees of Atturra
[10291] d) Audit and Risk Committee: The objective of the Committee is to ensure the Company appropriately manages its business and operating risks
[10291] Part of these risks include economic, environmental and social sus- tainability risks which can extend to modern slavery risks in Atturras operations
[10291] e) Recruitment processes: Atturra understands modern slavery risks can occur where workers are charged illegal or excessive recruitment fees, are uninformed about the terms of employment or are fraudulently charged fees for work documentation
[10291] Consequently, for direct workers we aim to recruit directly without the use of recruitment services
[10291] Atturra avoids deceptive recruiting issues through finding workers via advertising and referrals, an interview process where the role expectations are clearly commu- nicated and directly engaging with the potential worker to discuss employment terms and pay details
[10291] Where Atturra uses external recruiters for direct workers, Atturra
[373] These include the suppliers of products and services used in our transport and warehousing activities, such as trucks, planes, ships, helicopters, materials handling equipment, IT equipment and personal equipment and clothing
[373] Our supply chain also includes the services provided by subcontractors and agents, mainly for the transport of goods
[373] This is particularly relevant for Freight/Global Forwarding, for which Toll engages a number of third parties to assist with completing these orders3
[373] In many cases we have long- standing relationships with these businesses, and in other cases short-term arrangements are made based on the requirements of our clients
[373] An overview of the countries in which we operate as well as those in which we work with network partners can be seen below
[373] Risks of Modern Slavery in Operations & Supply Chains Operating in the global logistics sector, we are aware of the potential for Toll to cause, contribute to or be linked to modern slavery through our operations and supply chains.4 Operations Taking into account the activities of Tolls global operations, there is a risk of causing or contributing to modern slavery through the use of labour in vulnerable populations, high risk geographies or through the engagement of recruitment agencies
[373] Whilst Toll operates worldwide, nearly half of employees and a significant proportion of suppliers are based in Australia and New Zealand which somewhat decreases the geographical risk
[373] However, as our company continues to grow both locally and globally, we are aware of the risks and the need to address these in an appropriate manner
[3584] Munich Res Statement on the Australian Modern Slavery Act Page 2/6 Munich Res policies in relation to slavery and human trafficking Munich Re is convinced that its business model can only be successfully realised in the future through long-term and responsible action
[3584] Therefore, we are committed to upholding human rights as defined in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, in the International Bill of Human Rights1, and in the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work issued by the International Labour Organization (ILO)
[3584] In addition, we emphasised and embraced our responsibility to uphold human rights by committing to the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact in 2007
[3584] These same principles are incorporated in our Group Code of Conduct
[3584] As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, Munich Re is committed to
[3584] Promoting and observing the protection of internationally recognised human rights
[3584] Making sure that the Group is not complicit in human rights abuses
[3584] Upholding the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining
[5284] Our main sourcing country is China, which accounts for over 90% of our products
[5284] We have held solid relationships with some of our suppliers, the majority of whom we have dealt with over the last 15 years

[5284] Identifying the risks of Modern Slavery At Ally Fashion, we fully understand that the apparel industry carries several inherent and complex risks of modern slavery throughout all tiers of the supply chain at a global scale
[5284] Operational functions of the apparel and retail industry carry their own varied and distinct risks, and require additional consideration and assessment of risks to ensure that there modern slavery is minimised to a reasonably practical extent at each level of the supply chain
[5284] Our current checklist for ensuring we do not work with suppliers or contractors that engage in any form of Modern Slavery provides us with full visibility across all steps and levels of our supply chain, from the businesses we source our fabrics from, to the suppliers we use for shipping our products to customers worldwide
[5284] In Australia, we have determined the risks of modern slavery associated with our operations to be low
[10291] Atturra Modern Slavery Statement FY22
[10291] Modern Slavery Committee: Atturra established a Modern Slavery Committee which is comprised of 3 key executives that meet regularly to determine and review the actions being taken to detect and prevent modern slavery in Atturras supply chain
[10291] As at the date of this Statement, the Modern Slavery Committee has discussed and prepared policies relating to modern slavery and undertaken risk assessment pro- cesses including supply chain mapping and the follow up questionnaire
[10291] Additionally, the Modern Slavery Committee has prepared and delivered training to key personnel, prepared this Statement and discussed processes and procedures for managing modern slavery risks in this and the next reporting period
[10291] b) Supply chain mapping: Atturra undertakes due dili- gence in respect of its key suppliers to ensure that these parties are aligned with Atturra policies, codes and values
[10291] Supply chain mapping involves categorising suppliers by risks associated with their geographic location, size and industry
[10291] This has been a key part of identifying and assessing actual and potential human rights impacts in accordance with UN Guiding Principle 17
[10291] c) Follow up questionnaire: Atturra requires suppliers iden- tified as medium risk during the supply chain mapping exercise to complete a modern slavery risk questionnaire to ensure compliance with modern slavery laws and to identify any issues
[373] Supply Chain Toll works with an extensive network of suppliers, subcontractors and agents to provide the vast array of services around the globe
[373] As such Toll is at risk of contributing to or being directly linked to modern slavery abuses relating to the activities of these business relations
[373] The extent of these is dependent on a number of factors including the level of human rights protection and/or enforcement in the countries where they operate or source from, use of labour hire and outsourcing practices
[373] This is also applicable to suppliers from which we source the products and services we require to operate
[373] Implications of COVID-19 on Tolls Operations and Supply Chain The lockdowns and border closures that were implemented by governments around the world to slow the spread of COVID-19 restricted the movement of goods globally
[373] This had significant implications on Tolls global direct operations and supply chain
[373] In some instances, this was further compounded by bottlenecks created by additional protocols introduced to ensure the safety of workers
[373] The pressure to make up this lost time poses an additional risk to our employees and contractors to work long hours and ignore general health and safety practices
[3584] Advocating the elimination of all types of forced labour
[3584] Championing the abolition of child labour
[3584] Helping put an end to discrimination in hiring and employment The Munich Re Board of Management has formulated its own position on human rights, which you can find on the Munich Re website
[3584] Munich Res due diligence processes in relation to slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains In order to bring our commitment to respecting human rights to life, Munich Re has developed a due diligence process that covers the key components of human-rights due diligence
[3584] Policy commitment of the Board of Management to respect human rights
[3584] Identifying and assessing human rights risks and impacts
[3584] Implementing measures and monitoring
[3584] Reporting and communicating
[5284] A preliminary assessment of our operations in China has identified that our network of lower-level and infrequently used suppliers as necessitating further scrutiny and due diligence to understand any potential risks of vulnerable worker groups including temporary and migrant workers
[5284] These activities have already commenced but are not yet at the level where results can be reported on
[5284] The use of recruitment agencies in our China operations is low
[5284] We also recognise the following risk factors in the apparel sector as indicators of the potential of modern slavery to occur
[5284] unauthorised subcontracting
[5284] sham contracting
[5284] underpayment of wages
[5284] consistent and excessive overtime
[10291] The follow up questionnaire covered questions including but not limited to the suppliers policies and procedures for modern slavery, compliance with legislation and the potential for modern slavery risks in their operations or supply chain
[10291] Significant issues are escalated to senior management
[10291] From the collated responses, Atturra was able to better identify and assess the actual and potential adverse human rights impacts including modern slavery in its supply chains
[10291] Any significant issues arising out of the questionnaires were to be escalated to senior man- agement, however, none were reported
[10291] Ultimately, the questionnaire provided comfort that Atturras suppliers were acting in compliance with Australian laws and regulations and assurance that there is a limited risk of modern slavery in Atturras supply chain
[10291] Further, it improved Atturras oversight and visibility over its supply chain and demonstrated the actions its suppliers were Due diligence and remediation During the Reporting Period, Atturra engaged in due diligence and remediation processes in line with the UN Guiding Principles to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how we address our modern slavery risks
[10291] pays all associated fees and exercises due diligence in ensuring the candidate does not pay unfair or unreason- able recruitment fees
[10291] f) Our values: Our core values underpin everything we do
[373] It has also exposed our workforce to the risk of contracting the virus
[373] Actions Taken to Assess and Address the Risk of Modern Slavery We are taking a long-term systematic approach to integrating an ethical supply chain framework and increasing engagement with suppliers to identify risk, assess and address modern slavery
[373] Policies & Governance In FY20, Tolls values were refreshed and work shopped with senior leaders
[373] The values have been rolled out in FY21 to represent the Toll we want to be
[373] The refreshed values form a compass that will guide our behaviour and define our culture
[373] https://www.tollgroup.com/freight 4 Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 Guidance for reporting entities p40
[373] Page 3 of 5 In line with these values are Tolls policies and standards, which influence our behaviour towards Modern Slavery
[3584] Remedy and grievance mechanism Assessment of human rights risks In a systematic evaluation of potential risks, Munich Re defined the following four dimensions as critical to upholding human rights: employees, procurement, our insurance business (primary insurance and reinsurance), and investment manage- ment
[3584] For each of these dimensions, we identify, assess and, if necessary, mitigate potential risks with regard to the infringement of human rights
[3584] We place particular emphasis on our core business and investments
[3584] We are con- scious of the fact that there is a range of industries and projects that may have a major impact on the environment, local communities and other stakeholder groups
[3584] The systematic anchoring of environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects in core business enables us to identify these risks and, in cooperation with our clients, to minimise them as far as possible
[3584] With this in mind, we have specific analysis tools in place
[3584] We established twelve generally applicable ESG aspects which explic- itly include human rights and labour rights
[3584] These aspects help to identify industrial sectors with high ESG risk exposure, thus allowing sensitive business topics to be recognised
[5284] the use of migrant, low-skilled workers
[5284] temporary labour contracts; and/or
[5284] lack of access to effective grievance mechanisms
[5284] We acknowledge that the subject of a lot of these vulnerabilities are
[5284] female workers
[5284] migrant labour
[5284] subcontracted labour
[5284] agency and temporary/contract labour; and
[10291] Atturras core values are integrity, excellence, respect and innovation
[10291] Our staff members are expected to act in accordance with our values
[10291] Assessing effectiveness Atturra recognises the importance of continuous improvement by regularly assessing the effectiveness of our actions taken to address modern slavery risks
[10291] In doing this, Atturra aims to build more transparent and open relationships with our suppliers in order to mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain
[10291] The actions taken by Atturra during the reporting period have been effective in enabling Atturra to proactively identify, assess and mitigate any potential risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chain
[10291] Atturra has increased due diligence efforts on those industry areas that we consider to be higher risk for us and will continue to increase due diligence processes into the next reporting period
[10291] taking to assess and address modern slavery risks in their own operations and supply chain
[10291] d) Training: At Atturra, we foster a culture of compliance, continuous improvement, integrity and honesty which is reflected in the way we conduct our business
[373] Toll Group Code of Practice
[373] Toll Group Anti-Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Policy
[373] Toll Group Ethical Employment Policy
[373] Toll Group Employment Screening Policy
[373] Toll Group Supplier Code of Practice
[373] Toll Group Whistleblower Policy
[373] Toll Group Serious Misconduct Policy The day to day responsibility for developing these policies and overseeing compliance is assigned to relevant departments including Compliance & Security, HR, Procurement and Legal
[373] These policies and standards are upheld in everything we do
[3584] Questionnaires specially tailored to these topics were integrated into an ESG tool, which helps our underwriters systematically take ESG aspects into account when performing risk assessments
[3584] In addition, we have created a risk mapping tool specifically for human rights
[3584] This tool is designed to aid our employees in categorising and evaluating countries and economic sectors as per various indices and human rights topics
[3584] We consider the following topics when mapping risks by country: child labour and forced labour; 1 Including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
[3584] Munich Res Statement on the Australian Modern Slavery Act Page 3/6 discrimination on the basis of gender, sexuality or religion; corruption; threats to communities; restrictions on peoples liberty or freedom; international and domestic conflicts
[3584] When we analyse sector risks, we focus on working conditions, child labour and forced labour, occupational health risks, and the sources of commodities
[3584] Measures to manage human rights risks in Munich Res supply chains
[3584] Measures for each risk dimension For each of the four risk dimensions that we have defined employees, procurement, our (re)insurance business and investment management we have implemented measures, norms (incl

[5284] Actions Taken to Address Modern Slavery Risks and Next Steps Our approach is embedded into our policy frameworks and processes, resourcing practices, supplier and contractor engagement, and industry partnerships
[5284] Our Leadership team shares responsibility for overseeing Ally Fashions risk management and compliance framework, and ensuring its implementation and delivery
[5284] A cross-functional and regional modern slavery working group will be established in 2021, and these members will collectively be tasked with developing a standardised operational and supply chain due diligence approach across Ally Fashion
[5284] Our current policy framework establishes the standards by which we operate as well as outlining responsibilities and expectations regarding workplace behaviour, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, bribery and corruption, harassment, and conflicts of interest
