[2757] During the reporting period Ixom had robust systems in place regarding local labour law compliance in each country where it employed people
[2757] The outcome of the modern slavery compliance risk assessment demonstrates that Ixoms operations may be susceptible to the presence of modern slavery risks through its engagement of direct and indirect suppliers, and in the supply chains of indirect suppliers who provide products and services to Ixom, including cleaning, transport and shipping, (particularly in the operations of shipping companies engaged by service providers engaged by Ixom to arrange the transport of Ixoms products on Ixoms behalf)
[2757] Supply chain In the reporting period Ixom chose to focus the majority of its work plan activities on the supply chains of Ixoms Australian and New Zealand businesses
[2757] Those businesses are operated solely by Ixom Operations Pty Ltd and represent the majority of Ixoms revenue and earnings at a group level and also the majority of the Ixom Groups supply chain activities
[2757] Ixom has identified the potential for modern slavery risks to arise in the following parts of its supply chain
[2757] raw materials procured to produce goods and finished products
[2757] countries from which Ixom sources chemicals or materials where those countries have little or no human rights or worker protections, poor law enforcement or where modern slavery is widely practiced or accepted; and
[2757] particular industries in which modern slavery practices or violations have been uncovered by third parties and publicly documented
[5015] This extends to modern slavery concerns
[5015] SMBC in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, has recently launched a new Whistleblowing Policy and external reporting platform in the region that enhances the confidentiality and protection of whistleblowers, including service providers and their employees, in accordance with the applicable whistleblowing legislation Employees of SMBC and those of its group entities which it owns or controls (including SMBC- LF) are encouraged to identify and report immediately via SMBC's whistleblowing framework, without any negative repercussions, any conduct that the employee knows or reasonably believes would violate legal or regulatory requirements or ethical standards, which include such requirements and standards set out in internal policies and guidance in relation to human rights and modern slavery
[5015] Additionally, in order to ensure proper understanding of the risks posed by modern slavery and human trafficking, SMBC will look to update its compliance training for its employees to include modern slavery and human trafficking risks
[5015] This type of employee training would be in addition to existing training that SMBC employees are provided in respect of human rights
[5015] SMBCs consultation with the group entities within its operational control (including SMBC-LF) will look to extend this training to employees of these entities
[5015] SMBCs further actions in connection with its operations SMBC group entities over which SMBC has operational control (including SMBC-LF) operate subject to internal group policies which require these entities to report any breaches of law to SMBC
[5015] On this basis, they are obliged to notify SMBC of any breach of law relating to slavery and other human rights issues
[5015] Further, in accordance with applicable obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (United Kingdom) (UK Act), certain group entities within SMBCs operational control, including SMBC- LF, have published Slavery and Human Trafficking Statements, which provide disclosures concerning their respective efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking

[9307] Stanmore Resources Limited | Modern Slavery Statement 2021 During the Reporting Period, Stanmore has continued to develop its framework for identifying, addressing and reducing modern slavery risks in our operations and supply chains
[9307] Risk assessment methodology We have used a risk assessment methodology that considers several indicators of modern slavery risks, including sector and industry, the type of products and services, geographical location and specific entity risk
[9307] The risk factors we have identified are based on the risk indicators identified in
[96] We offer computing, networking, data storage, and communications solutions to a broad set of customers spanning multiple industries
[96] Our global supply chain includes more than 10,000 Tier 12 Suppliers in 89 countries that provide intellectual property, direct materials for our production processes, tools and machines for our factories, and logistics and packaging services, as well as software, office materials, and travel services
[96] We also rely on other companies to manufacture, assemble and test some of our components and products
[96] Intels efforts in combating modern slavery require strong engagement and collaboration with our global suppliers
[96] It is critical that we partner closely with them to understand and evaluate their supply chain procedures and empower them to establish programs and policies that mitigate the risk of modern slavery
[96] For additional information about Intel and its operations, refer to the 2019 Annual Report on form 10-K
[96] Our Commitment and Policies Addressing the Prevention of Modern Slavery Since our founding, uncompromising integrity and professionalism have been the cornerstone of Intels business
[96] Today Intel is not only committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct, human rights, and social and environmental responsibility, but is also committed to maintaining and improving any system or process that helps protect workers and prevent human rights violations
[2757] The risks associated with modern slavery increase when these factors intersect
[2757] Ixom acknowledges that risks may also be present deep in its supply chains, such as the mining of certain minerals and the production of raw materials that are sold or resold to Ixom
[2757] Raw materials With reference to the Verisk-Maplecroft index, certain raw materials distributed by Ixom, as follows, are associated with industries that carry a higher risk of modern slavery practices: Citrus fruits Cumin Tea Fish Vanilla Coffee Cobalt Cocoa Geographic locations Ixom has identified modern slavery risks based on geographic locations of suppliers in Ixoms supply chain located in countries listed as higher risk by Transparency International and the Global Slavery Index
[2757] Ixoms suppliers operating in such higher risk countries are predominantly located in China and India
[2757] Industries In consideration of the industries in which Ixom operates, the Global Estimates of Modern Slavery as developed by International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Walk Free Foundation in partnership with the International Organization for Migration1 refers to industries that carry a higher risk of modern slavery practices: Manufacturing Construction Commercial agriculture As part of Ixoms forthcoming reporting periods Ixom will utilise these learnings to focus on a selection of suppliers identified as high risk on the basis of raw materials, regions and industries, products or service sector
[2757] During the reporting period Ixom undertook the following key actions to assess and address modern slavery risks
[2757] Due diligence Development of a due diligence process to assess suppliers engaged during the reporting period
[2757] The process includes initial information gathering through to escalation and management of any identified modern slavery risks and involves two stages: Basic due diligence Suppliers of any products or services to any Ixom business that fit within the target categories of Ixoms modern slavery work plan must undergo basic due diligence

[5015] Customers The credit policy of SMBC Group prohibits granting credit to certain businesses and customers, which includes those who exhibit unacceptable practices from the perspective of public order and morals
[5015] There is a prohibition on the origination of loans for certain types of businesses where human rights abuses, such as child labour is, or may, be taking place or is likely to take place
[5015] In addition, by way of example, SMBC-LF, as part of its anti-money laundering compliance responsibilities, undertakes due diligence on its customers at both the on-boarding stage and at regular periods thereafter
[5015] This due diligence includes compliance specific database searches on customers in relation to adverse news, which would identify news in connection with sanctions and human rights violations
[5015] This also includes ongoing screening in respect of customers, customer associated parties and trade finance transactions for connections to jurisdictions with human rights issues
[5015] Further, SMBC has been a signatory to the Equator Principles since 23 January 2006

[9307] Given the nature, location and source of Stanmores procurement spend, as described above, it is considered that the overall risk of Stanmore causing, contributing to or being directly linked to modern slavery is low
[9307] However, we acknowledge that mining is a high-risk sector and therefore some risk factors for modern slavery may be present
[9307] Stanmore is committed to maintaining a high standard of supply chain management and will continue working with our suppliers to identify, address and eliminate the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking from our supply chains
[96] Tier 1 suppliers are companies from which Intel makes direct purchases
[96] Suppliers include vendors who provide a.) direct parts, materials or capital, b.) services and c.) staffing
[96] Intels policies and integrated approach to preventing modern slavery draw upon internationally recognized labor and human rights standards such as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO International Labor Standards, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict- Affected and High-Risk Areas
[96] These standards establish our baseline expectations as well as communicate our values and commitment to ethics and uncompromising integrity
[96] Intels policies include
[96] Intel Global Human Rights Principles: Human rights are the fundamental rights, freedoms, and standards of treatment to which all people are entitled
[96] Intels Human Rights Principles, adopted in 2009, formalize our commitment to respecting human rights and embody common principles laid out in multiple frameworks, including the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights
[96] Intel Code of Conduct: Our Code of Conduct is a vital part of our company culture that provides employees and suppliers with a clear understanding of our core values and principles
[2757] Where, following completion of that due diligence, there are unresolved red flags, and Ixom still wishes to transact with the relevant supplier, the supplier will be subject to advanced due diligence
[2757] Advanced due diligence The scope of the advanced due diligence for those suppliers requiring addition due diligence will be tailored based on the nature of the unresolved red flags arising from basic due diligence
[2757] Advanced due diligence must be periodically repeated if Ixom has previously had to undertake advanced modern slavery due diligence over the supplier or an affiliated company of the supplier in the previous five year period
[2757] Red flag concept Ixom has developed a due diligence criterion which, if met by a supplier, would prompt a red flag in relation to modern slavery non-compliance such as presence of illegal activity, lack of controls surrounding labour law compliance and slavery, servitude, underage labour and human trafficking avoidance or failure to return or complete Ixoms modern slavery questionnaire
[2757] If after advanced due diligence red flags still exist and have not been addressed by the supplier, lxoms Modern Slavery Policy (MSA) requires lxom to suspend its use of the supplier until such time as the supplier has resolved the red flags to lxoms satisfaction
[2757] Ixom has completed modern slavery due diligence of a selection of suppliers identified as part of Ixoms modern slavery work plan
[2757] Policies
[2757] Preparation and implementation of an MSA Policy, which was approved by the Ixom executive leadership team
[5015] The Equator Principles are a set of guidelines developed by private financial institutions for managing environmental and social risks related to financing large-scale development projects
[5015] The Equator Principles apply to project finance transactions, project-related corporate loans and bridge loans that are intended to be refinanced to project finance or corporate loans, regardless of the country or the sector
[5015] The Equator Principles are based on
[5015] the environmental and social policies and guidelines of International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank
[5015] These policies and guidelines cover a variety of issues such as the environmental and social impact assessment process, pollution prevention, consideration of local communities and natural resources
[5015] In accordance with the Equator Principles, SMBC has established internal environmental and social guidelines and procedures, and conducts environmental and social risk assessments, including in respect of potential adverse human rights impacts
[5015] SMBC Group commissioned an independent external party (Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC) to review a number of transactions for the year ended 31 December 2018 regarding their compliance with the Equator Principles, including
[5015] Project Finance transactions closed in 2018
[9307] RISKS OF MODERN SLAVERY PRACTICES IN THE OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAINS OF THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ANY ENTITIES IT OWNS OR CONTROLS We acknowledge that mining is a high-risk sector and therefore some risk factors for modern slavery may be present
[9307] Stanmore Resources Limited | Modern Slavery Statement 2021 Our risk profile is summarised below
[9307] Risk profile supply chain and managed operations For the Reporting Period, the results revealed that 7% of Stanmores tier-one suppliers were profiled into the overall medium risk category
[9307] No suppliers were profiled in the high-risk category
[9307] TYPE OF RISK DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF RISK SECTOR/ INDUSTRY
[9307] The mining sector is generally considered high risk for modern slavery as the following risk factors may be present
[9307] high-risk business models such as third party contracting
[9307] use of migrant and base-skill workers
[96] Most importantly, it outlines high standards for ethical conduct by which Intel employees and suppliers must conduct business
[96] Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct (the RBA Code): The RBA Code is a set of social, environmental and ethical industry standards that is an integral element of our Supplier Policy
[96] Intel fully supports the vision and goals of the RBA within our global operations and we require our suppliers (and their supply chain) to comply with the RBA Code
[96] We embed the RBA Code across our supply chain and advocate for RBA Code enhancements to improve the lives of workers
[96] 2019 Intel Corporation Statement on Combating Modern Slavery 3 Trafficking in Persons Federal Government Purchasing Policy: This policy requires suppliers to comply with the U.S
[96] Governments Federal Acquisition Regulation on Combating Trafficking in Persons
[96] Intels Responsible Minerals program, mineral sourcing policy, and due diligence practices address minerals originating from Conflict- Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs3) and are aligned to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High- Risk Areas (OECD Guidance)
[96] We hold our employees and suppliers to high standards
[2757] Amongst other things, the MSA Policy prohibits Ixom entities from procuring goods, services or labour from any supplier that Ixom knows or suspects, based on available information, engages in modern slavery practices or human rights abuses in connection with the provision of goods, services or labour to Ixom, unless the supplier permanently eradicates slavery practices and human rights abuses from its operations in a timely manner
[2757] The development of an escalation process for dealing with any possible breaches of the MSA Policy, including the ability to make reports via Ixoms confidential Speak Up line which exists as part of Ixoms Whistleblower Protection Policy
[2757] Training
[2757] Commencement and development of a training program for employees of Ixoms Australian entities who work with suppliers and/or work in supply chains, with a focus on ensuring the training of Ixoms product managers
[2757] Published Ixom entity wide communications through Ixom News and Yammer to Ixom personnel to publicise the MSA Policy and Ixoms stance on modern slavery including how to report any concerns
[2757] Response team Establishment of a modern slavery working group consisting of internal lawyers, product managers, regional business managers, procurement personnel and supply chain personnel to establish a modern slavery avoidance program and to undertake a risk assessment to identify those parts of Ixoms supply chains that carry a higher modern slavery risk
[2757] The outcome of this has informed the focus areas for the relevant work plan referred to in 4.1
[2757] Further actions taken
[5015] Project Related Corporate Loans closed in 2018; and
[5015] Finance Advisory Transactions mandated in 2018
[5015] An Independent Assurance Report was issued by Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC on 21 August 2019, wherein no adverse finding or non-compliance had been noted
[5015] A list of the transactions reviewed and assured by Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC (under the section Transactions Subject to the Equator Principles (SMBC)), the relevant Independent Assurance Report, as well as further information on SMBCs commitment to the Equator Principles can be found here: https://www.smfg.co.jp/english/sustainability/materiality/environment/risk/equator/
[5015] SMBCs actions in connection with its supply chain Suppliers and service providers SMBC will continue to consult with its offshore branches and group entities within its operational control (including SMBC-LF) with a view to determining whether the steps taken by such entities to assess and address the risk of modern slavery practices in their supply chains are appropriate having regard to the size and nature of their businesses
[5015] Certain SMBC branches and group entities (including SMBC-LF) within its operational control have frameworks in place to assess and address modern slavery risk in their supply chains and operations
[5015] Part of the consultation process with these branches and group entities, will consider whether these existing frameworks could apply to SMBCs broader operations
[5015] For example, SMBC-LF conducts screening of all new suppliers in its direct supply chain, including reviewing publicly available information, in order to identify instances that may give cause for concern in relation to slavery, human trafficking and other human rights issues and name screening on local and global sanctions lists
[9307] the short term and temporary nature of some work, including construction
[9307] operations in high-risk geographies; and
[9307] complex and global supply chains, particularly with risks beyond first-tier suppliers being more challenging to identify and manage.1 The types of modern slavery practices that may be present due to these risks are human trafficking, child labour, forced or unpaid work and bonded labour.2 Our suppliers within the construction, transport and mining and quarrying sectors make up less than 20% of our total suppliers
[9307] Further, the risks of modern slavery in Stanmores operations and supply chains are mitigated by the fact that our operations are based exclusively in Australia, the vast majority of our suppliers are Australian (99% by expenditure), and we have direct oversight and procedures in place to manage modern slavery risks, as detailed further below
[9307] Our direct employees are all employed by Australian entities under written contracts and subject to Australian labour laws
[9307] Therefore, despite being in the mining sector, the risk of Stanmore causing, contributing to or being directly linked to modern slavery is low
[9307] GOODS AND SERVICES
[9307] Certain goods and services may have a higher prevalence of modern slavery risks because of how they are produced, provided or used.3 In the mining industry, the forms of labour, transport and procurement practices may present higher modern slavery risks, particularly where visibility over the human rights practices of contractors beyond the first tier is low.4 General operations procurement, including financial, building management, cleaning, catering and security services, which may be provided by migrant workers, low skill workers or labour-hire contractors, also present higher risks of modern slavery, such as forced labour.5 Stanmore procures the following high-risk goods and services (marked with an asterisk in the chart below)
[96] Any policy violation by an Intel employee may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment
[96] Any policy violation by a supplier may disqualify the supplier from consideration for future business up to and including termination of the suppliers relationship with Intel
