[2824] Internal operations UniSuper is the complying superannuation fund dedicated to people employed in the higher education and research sector
[2824] Were one of Australias largest industry super funds with over 450,000 members and over $80 billion in funds under management
[2824] The day-to-day administration of UniSuper is managed by USM
[2824] The executive leadership team is committed to achieving its purpose: providing greater retirement outcomes for our members
[5137] We recognise that this is a potential risk area for modern slavery
[5137] However, we have made enquiries and have been informed that these agencies fully comply with all applicable workplace laws and pay at least minimum rates of pay
[5137] Our partner recruitment agencies are currently developing their own modern slavery policies/processes (and preparing modern slavery statements) and we will aim to review these when developed/lodged
[5137] Supply Chains In preparing this statement we focused on our suppliers with whom we have a direct contractual relationship (ie "tier 1" suppliers)
[5137] However, we acknowledge that incidences of modern slavery can exist throughout supply chains at any level and we are committed to assessing and reporting on these risks further in future years and statements as part of our process for continuous improvement
[5137] Our initial risk assessment consisted of a desktop review of our suppliers and a review of what peers and competitors have undertaken in this space
[5137] This assessment indicated that there are certain risk factors present in our supply chains which may increase the potential for risks of modern slavery practices occurring in them

[96] Internal Accountability Each year, our CEO communicates with employees and senior managers about the importance of ethics and legal compliance
[96] Our CEO also regularly reminds employees and managers that nothing is worth doing if its not done with integrity
[96] This tone from the top, reiterated by our senior leadership team, is further cascaded throughout the company with the following activities: an annual ethics and compliance training, regular ethics & compliance communications, periodic company-wide ethics culture surveys, awareness trainings, annual ethics and compliance summits, and educational resources on our company intranet site
[96] Together, these activities help to create and maintain an ethical and legally compliant culture
[96] Through Intels Code of Conduct, we seek to promote honest and ethical conduct, deter wrongdoing, and support compliance with applicable laws and regulations
[96] The principles embodied in the Code of Conduct reflect our policies in such areas as slavery, human trafficking, conflicts of interest, nondiscrimination, antitrust, anti-bribery, and anti-corruption, and serve to protect our companys assets and reputation
[96] The Code of Conduct directs employees to consider both short-term and long-term impacts on human rights when making business decisions and to report potential issues as soon as they are identified
[96] All employees are expected to complete training on the Code of Conduct when they join the company and annually thereafter
[2824] The team operate in line with annual performance objectives and report to the USL Board
[2824] More information is outlined in our annual report and is available on our website
[2824] We have a national presence with more than 800 employees working in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra and Perth, either in one of the UniSuper offices or on-campus at one of our university- based employers
[2824] Our internal operations include operating superannuation products, administering all products internally, providing inbuilt benefits and offering external insurance to members, providing general and personal financial product advice to members and spouses via UniSuper Advice, managing a substantial proportion of UniSupers investments internally, and selecting, monitoring and allocating funds to our external investment managers

[2824] COVID-19 impact We acknowledge the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been globally profound and may lead to an increased risk of modern slavery practices within the financial services industry, as well as our suppliers operations and supply chains
[5137] The potential risks which we have identified in our supply chains are set out in the paragraphs below
[5137] Henry Schein engages with third party manufacturing plants in Asia which produce Henry Schein branded products including gloves, masks, tissues and various other consumable items
[5137] We are aware that these manufacturing plants carry potential risks of forced labour, child labour and human trafficking due to the industry's high labour intensity and reliance on migrant workers, the relatively low skill levels of workers and low level of regulation in these geographical locations generally
[5137] However, Henry Schein (globally) has an audit team based in Shanghai (linked to Henry Schein's global sourcing team) which has the ability to monitor and audit these third party manufacturing plants
[5137] We recognise that purchasing practices such as short production windows and last-minute or short- term orders may increase modern slavery risks for workers in our supply chains, hence we engage with suppliers to consider options to support vulnerable workers
[5137] We seek suppliers information on steps they have taken to protect their workers from COVID-19, such as providing workers with protective equipment, providing sick leave or carers leave, and increasing cleaning in premises to minimise the risk of infection
[5137] As part of our aim for continuous improvement we are committed to further examining and assessing our supply chains
[5137] We also recognise the potential for instances of modern slavery practices to occur further down our supply chains (ie beyond tier 1) and we will strive to analyse and report on lower levels of our supply chains in our next modern slavery statement

[96] Intel employees are required to comply with the Code of Conduct
[96] Employee violations of the Code of Conduct may result in discipline, including termination and/or report of the misconduct to the relevant government authorities
[96] Intels Ethics & Compliance Oversight Committee (ECOC), which is chartered by and reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is responsible for maintaining Intels Code of Conduct
[96] The ECOC includes senior representatives from across the company and is co-chaired by Intels Chief Compliance Officer and Director of Internal Audit
[96] Each year, Intels ECOC invites various Intel organizations to assess and report on ethics and compliance in their respective businesses or sites and reviews risk topics across the company
[2824] Since the outbreak, we have complied with workplace health and safety requirements in Australia and carry out our identification and assessment activities to identify risks of modern slavery practices within our internal operations and supply chains
[2824] Weve also continued our direct engagement with companies to discuss human rights and supply chain risks
[2824] Risks of modern slavery practices Modern slavery focuses on risk as it relates to people
[2824] Risk to people incorporates concepts of severity of modern slavery practices, likelihood of occurrence, as well as the extent of the effect, in terms of the number of people affected and over what time period
[2824] Internal operations Were strongly committed to ensuring compliance with all workplace health and safety requirements applicable to our places of work
[2824] We recognise our responsibilities are to provide, so far as is reasonably practicable, a safe working environment to our people without risks to health, in accordance with the applicable statutory requirements
[2824] Were committed to
[2824] working safely
[5137] Actions taken by Henry Schein and the entities which Henry Schein owns or controls to assess and address modern slavery risks Actions Over the reporting period Henry Schein has taken steps to assess and address the risks of modern slavery practices occurring in our operations and supply chains
[5137] For example, Henry Schein (at the US parent level) produced a document for internal use called the "Australian Modern Slavery Act Due Diligence Survey." This document highlighted areas of our business to consider in terms of potential for modern slavery risks (including particular country, sector, transaction and business partnership related risks) and provided guidance on how to prepare a compliant modern slavery statement
[5137] This document was shared internally and utilised by Henry Schein in its modern slavery due diligence process and in preparing this statement
[5137] We have continued to use and make reference to our Global Supplier Code of Conduct which sets out our expectations in the areas of business integrity, labour practices, employee health and safety
[5137] and environmental management
[5137] The Supplier Code of Conduct is made available to all of our suppliers at the outset of our relationship as part of the on boarding process
[5137] In accordance with the Code, we require our suppliers to conduct their business responsibly, with integrity and honesty and importantly, to comply with, all applicable laws and regulations

[96] The Intel Board of Directors' Corporate Governance and Nominating (CGN) Committee has primary responsibility for oversight of corporate responsibility issues at Intel
[96] Management provides formal updates to the CGN Committee at least twice each year and at least annually to the full Board on the company's corporate responsibility performance and disclosure, including human rights issues
[96] The annual Intel Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed and approved by the CGN Committee and the full board
[96] Training Intel provides employees with direct responsibility for supply chain management and U.S
[96] Federal contracts with training on slavery and human trafficking, particularly with respect to mitigating risks within our product supply chain
[96] We educate suppliers about our expectations through webinars, workshops, our supplier website and our annual expectations letter, sent to our direct suppliers
[96] Intel provides annual targeted training and workshops for suppliers operating in geographical regions where we conclude there is an elevated risk of slavery and human trafficking
[96] Each year we also deliver our expectations of combating slavery and human trafficking risks in a webinar
[2824] providing a workplace free from harassment, discrimination and bullying
[2824] acting ethically and lawfully in all business conduct
[2824] engaging with stakeholders respectfully and honestly, and
[2824] building sustainable communities through providing local jobs, developing local skills and local business opportunities
[2824] Our work is guided by our UniSuper values which are an integral part of the way we do things and a framework for our shared expectations
[2824] They can be found on our website
[2824] Our values are: were better together, we can be counted on, we strive for excellence, we take initiative, and we genuinely care for our members
[2824] We consider our potential exposure to modern slavery risk in respect of internal operations to be low
[5137] The Code of Conduct makes specific reference to our expectation that suppliers will (among other things)
[5137] treat employees fairly including with respect to wages, working hours and benefits
[5137] provide safe and healthy working conditions in their operations
[5137] maintain and promote fundamental human rights; and
[5137] prohibit any use of child labour in their operations
[5137] In October 2019 the Henry Schein Group implemented an online training programme (called the Henry Schein Global Compliance Learning) which all employees (globally) were required to complete
[5137] This mandatory training included information and guidance on how to identify modern slavery and human rights issues including by providing participants with a definition of modern slavery and running through examples of modern slavery (using specific scenario based videos/training methods) which employees might encounter in the course of their work
[5137] The training was rolled out again for all employees in 2020 and the decision has been made to implement it on an annual basis going forward
[9307] DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS OF CONSULTATION WITH ANY ENTITIES THE REPORTING ENTITY OWNS OR CONTROLS During the preparation and finalisation of this Statement, this Statement was provided to each member of the Stanmore Group, including each reporting entity, for review and comment
[9307] The Stanmore Group entities are centrally governed and managed by common Directors across the companies
[9307] With its small number of employees and simple management structure primarily based in Brisbane, information sharing and consultation occurred organically across the Stanmore Group
[9307] During the Reporting Period, the formal vehicles for consultation were the ARMC (which included a Director sitting on each of the Stanmore Group companies Boards) to inform and contribute to the direction on modern slavery risk, and development of the Statement
[9307] In addition, the Modern Slavery Working Group convened to discuss the reporting requirements under the Act, gap analysis findings, and actions to address modern slavery risk
[9307] This Statement was prepared by Stanmore Legal with input from the Finance, Procurement, Payroll, and HR teams
[9307] Before being put to the Board of SMR for review and approval, this Statement was reviewed by the CEO, CFO, General Manager Technical, General Manager Supply, General Counsel, and Corporate Governance and Risk Manager
[96] We record the webinar, which is then available on-demand for our suppliers anywhere in the world
[96] As part of our multi-year work with 50 critical suppliers we created resource materials and held a series of webinars to educate them and the Tier 2 suppliers on the risks of modern slavery
[96] In June and July 2019, we worked with HP Enterprise, HP Inc., Seagate, and Western Digital to provide in-person training to over 200 suppliers and their recruiting agents in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand
[96] of these were Intel suppliers, representing approximately 20% of our critical suppliers
[96] Environmental Resources Management (ERM) led the workshops
[96] Since we began annual training and webinars in 2014, we estimate that we have trained over 50% of our critical suppliers
[96] Outreach We continue to make every effort to educate other companies and professionals about our work in this area to foster collective learning, growth, and progress
[96] In 2019, we shared insights into Intels journey to combat modern slavery with various media outlets, journal articles, podcasts, webinar panels, external conferences, and training sessions
[2824] However, we recognise our internally managed investments is an area of focus in respect of modern slavery
[2824] Further details about the areas of modern slavery risks identified in our internal operations (including our general approach to managing modern slavery risks in our internally managed investments) for the 2019-20 financial year can be found in the Appendix
[2824] Supply chains We consider our overall exposure to modern slavery risk in respect of our supply chains to be of generally lower risk
[2824] However, we recognise some aspects of our supply chains may be subject to a higher risk of modern slavery
[2824] Further details about the areas of modern slavery risks identified in our supply chains (including our understanding of how our external investment managers are managing modern slavery risk in our externally managed investments) for the 2019-20 financial year can be found in the Appendix

[5137] We have continued to use our Distribution and Supply Agreement which requires all our suppliers to confirm that they will (and that their directors, employees, and agents will) comply with all applicable laws in relation to the supply of products under the Agreement
[5137] Henry Schein in Australia sold a glove range which is manufactured by companies located in South East Asia
[5137] In August 2020 we became aware of a decision by the US Customs and Border Protection to impose a detention order on these companies "based on reasonable evidence of forced labour in the manufacturing process including debt bondage, excessive overtime, retention of identification documents, and abusive working and living conditions
[5137] Upon Henry Schein becoming aware of the decision of the US Customs and Border Protection we immediately suspended our dealings with the manufacturer while we considered the matter, sought guidance and advice and also took inventory of our relevant saleable stock
[5137] Ultimately, we took the decision to cease the sale of the relevant products and to cease trading with any of the associated companies of the manufacturer
[5137] Remediation processes Henry Schein is committed to investigating any report of potential incidences of modern slavery occurring anywhere in our operations or supply chains
[5137] In line with our values and commitments we confirm that we would take all appropriate steps to rectify any confirmed incidences of modern slavery in our operations or supply chains

[9307] OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION 7.1
[9307] COVID-19 Stanmore has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its practices and risks to modern slavery
[9307] We worked collaboratively with suppliers to manage inventory and lengthened delivery and lead times, and are developing a COVID-19 response plan for implementation in 2022
[9307] Consistent with other companies in the mining industry, there has been an increase in absenteeism in early 2022 due to COVID-19 cases
[9307] We managed the operational impacts of COVID-19 in early 2022 by segregating staff with short term absentees absorbed
[9307] There was no replacement of workers or short-term hires
[96] Weve also met with governments and have attended offered trainings to stay fresh on issues
[96] Leadership We believe that collaboration is key to addressing this complex issue
[96] Intel co-founded the multi-industry, multi-stakeholder Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI), which works to protect and promote the rights of vulnerable workers
[96] In 2019 Intel served as a member of the RLI Steering Committee and the RLI Working Group
[96] The RLI has established a number of programs and tools, including the following
[96] May 14, 2020
[136] Autosports Group Limited MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT 2020
[136] Introduction Autosports Group Limited and its subsidiaries (Autosports Group) oppose slavery in all its forms
[2824] Engaging with our external investment managers We requested all our external investment managers (across all geographies and asset classes) to complete our modern slavery questionnaire and held subsequent discussions to gain a better understanding of their processes for identifying and assessing risk when managing our investments
[2824] This was done as part of our regular due diligence on managers ESG performance and processes as well as specific requests focussing on their modern slavery risk management
[2824] Performing a supplier risk identification assessment and engaging with our higher risk suppliers We identified 38 suppliers with a higher risk of modern slavery in their operations or supply chains (see the Appendix for the enterprise- wide assessment process undertaken)
[2824] We then prioritised modern slavery risk engagement activities with these higher risk suppliers, including commencing a due diligence process
[2824] As part of the process, these higher risk suppliers were encouraged to complete our supplier survey to help inform our future engagement with these suppliers in respect of modern slavery risks
[2824] Developing contractual provisions We commenced developing modern slavery risk provisions into our standard contract templates
[2824] These provisions will be incorporated into our contracts with higher risk suppliers
[2824] Internal operations
[5137] would work collaboratively with its suppliers and, if necessary, their suppliers, to achieve these goals
[5137] If, for any reason, progress in this regard was not possible, Henry Schein would take steps to sever its connections to the offending supplier or sub-supplier
[5137] Assessing the effectiveness of actions taken to assess and address modern slavery risks As outlined above, Henry Schein requires all employees globally to undertake and complete online training modules which include training, guidance and information on modern slavery and human rights issues
[5137] At the end of each training session each employee must complete an assessment to demonstrate that they have understood the content of the training
[5137] This is one way that we assess the effectiveness of the training sessions
[5137] In addition, Henry Schein aims to set up processes to discuss and review engagement and feedback between key areas of its business in relation to modern slavery
[5137] Consultation Henry Schein's group structure (including entities which are owned and controlled by Henry Schein) is set out earlier in this statement
[9307] We will continue to work with our contractors on protocols to minimise the spread and impacts on operations
[9307] The greatest risk remains widespread COVID-19 infections in-camp
[9307] Key statutory roles were accommodated in Moranbah rather than at camp to reduce the exposure risk
[9307] The accommodation plan for key statutory roles has been extended to the end of October 2022 and will be reviewed again at that time
