[61] There are over 6,000 unique products available in Baby Bunting stores
[61] The majority of products sold in Baby Bunting stores are purchased from distributors and suppliers based in Australia, with almost all of these products manufactured overseas
[61] Baby Bunting also purchases products directly from suppliers or agents based overseas
[61] A very high proportion of these products originate from supply chains based in the Asia region, with most products manufactured from supply chains based in, or connected with, China
[61] Baby Bunting also procures a diverse range of goods and services in connection with its business operations at its retail stores, Distribution Centre and Store Support Office including office supplies (IT equipment, stationery and furniture), cleaning services (retail stores and Store Support Office and waste disposal services), store development services (store fit out) and other services (marketing, consultancy and professional services)
[61] In summary, the procedures involve the following broad steps: Information provided by suppliers through a self-assessment questionnaire is combined with industry and country-specific risk factors to arrive at an initial risk rating
[61] The risk rating is assessed by Baby Buntings ethical sourcing team and where the risk rating is considered to be elevated further inquiries are undertaken
[2757] Structure, operations and supply chain Ixoms operations around the globe 6
[2757] Structure, operations and supply chain Brands Our values GROW DRIVEN EXCEL ENERGISE Suppliers During the reporting period Ixom conducted operations in the following countries: Australia Colombia Peru Argentina Fiji Singapore Brazil Hong Kong Thailand Canada Indonesia United Kingdom Chile Malaysia United States of America China New Zealand 8
[2757] 3.2 Operations Ixoms industry segments are intertwined, supplying manufactured chemicals and services, traded chemical products and providing logistics solutions and products to the mining, oil and gas industries
[2757] Chemicals are commonly used across many industries and essential services and feature in the food we eat, the water we drink and the utilities that we enjoy and add value to our lives
[2757] Ixom supplies chemicals, raw materials, equipment and services solutions to industrial customers operating in the following end markets
[2757] Food, beverage and nutrition
[5015] In these countries, jurisdiction risk means that some local suppliers have increased modern slavery risk when compared to similar suppliers from lower risk jurisdictions, such as Australia
[5015] Using the Global Slavery Index 2018 as a source, SMBC has identified Information Technology services and software, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, mining, trade and service industries (such as hospitality and cleaning) as high risk sectors for modern slavery
[5015] SMBC operates in the banking and financial services industry and primarily within an office environment and therefore it does not operate in these sectors
[5015] However, and as noted above, SMBC relies on service providers who do operate in some of these sectors, most notably in IT services (including telecommunications) and hospitality and cleaning
[5015] SMBCs supply chain includes a number of products that have been linked with modern slavery
[5015] For example, according to the Global Slavery Index 2018, the number 1 product category at risk of modern slavery imported into G20 countries (by US$ value) are laptops, computers and mobile phones
[5015] SMBCs operations rely heavily on the use of laptops, computers and mobile phones
[5015] SMBC is working on further defining its supply chain risk, which is a significant undertaking given its operational footprint and the global nature of its supply chains
[9307] Golding reports under the Act as part of the NRW Group joint statement
[9307] In addition to its operations and development projects, Stanmore has a portfolio of more than 2,000km2 of prospective, granted exploration tenements located in the Bowen and Surat Basins, including the following

[9307] Clifford Our website www.stanmore.net.au provides more information on our projects and operations
[9307] During the Reporting Period, we had 33 employees consisting of 27 full-time, 4 part-time, and 2 casual employees
[61] These inquiries can include the supplier providing an ethical sourcing audit report to provide further information and assurance to Baby Bunting about the supplier and its operations
[61] Where required, Baby Buntings ethical sourcing team will assess audit reports provided and consider instances of non-compliance identified in those reports
[61] Where non-compliance instances are identified, the ethical sourcing team may identify corrective actions that need to be taken and specify a time by which those actions need to be undertaken
[61] If the number or extent of non-compliance identified is critical, the Ethical Sourcing Procedures specify that Baby Bunting will not trade with that supplier
[61] Similarly, Baby Bunting may choose to end a supplier relationship where corrective actions have not been undertaken in the time requested
[61] Baby Bunting recognises the importance of assisting its suppliers and others in the supply chain to continually improve their practices
[61] At times, this can result in better overall outcomes for all relevant stakeholders in the supply chain
[61] Of course, where parties have not achieved significant improvement in respect of identified issues over a period of time, the appropriate response to manage the corresponding modern slavery and ethical sourcing risks may be to cease to deal with that element of the supply chain

[5015] While SMBC (through its risk control processes; see section 4 below) aims to mitigate the risk that its suppliers are directly engaged in modern slavery, there is also a risk that suppliers have modern slavery risks in their own supply chains
[5015] This risk is particularly acute for suppliers operating in markets where there is a geographic modern slavery risk
[5015] SMBC is in the process of assessing where this risk, is present given its broad operations and supply chains
[5015] SMBC-LF outsources certain functions to SMBC and third party service providers
[5015] For example, SMBC-LF engages various third parties to provide services, such as information technology systems development and document archiving
[5015] There is a risk that such providers have modern slavery risks within their operations and supply chain, particularly given that most of these services are heavily reliant on IT hardware and software
[5015] These entities are assessed for their approach to managing modern slavery risk
[5015] SMBC continues its review of its modern slavery supply chain risk
[9307] As of 31 December 2021, Stanmore had 28 employees and a total workforce of 344, including Golding personnel and their sub-contractors
[9307] All employees were employed by Australian entities under written contracts and subject to Australian labour laws
[9307] Joint ventures 2021 also saw the Stanmore Group acquire Peabody Energy Australias 50% interest in the Millennium and Mavis Downs Joint Venture, with M Resources Trading Pty Ltd holding the remaining 50% interest
[9307] A subsidiary of M Resources, M Mining Pty Ltd, is the manager and operator of the Joint Venture
[9307] The acquisition was completed in July 2021
[9307] Entities within the Millennium and Mavis Downs Joint Venture will be required to submit their own modern slavery statements if they meet the $100 million in annual consolidated revenue threshold specified by the Act
[9307] In Q4 2021, SMR signed a definitive share sale and purchase agreement with BHP Minerals Pty Ltd (BHP) to acquire, via a wholly-owned subsidiary, BHPs 80% interest in BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd, now known as Stanmore SMC Pty Ltd (SMC)
[9307] This transaction, successfully closed on 3 May 2022, will position Stanmore among Australias largest metallurgical coal producers
[61] Governance arrangements Baby Buntings ethical sourcing team work with, but are separate from, Baby Buntings merchandise team
[61] The ethical sourcing team report to the Group Legal Counsel
[61] Baby Buntings Audit and Risk Committee has oversight of Baby Buntings processes to manage modern slavery risks
[61] Training During the financial year, Baby Buntings merchandise team received training in respect of modern slavery and the risks that exist in Baby Buntings supply chains
[61] Further training will be provided in the year ahead
[61] Whistleblower Protection Policy Baby Bunting has a Whistleblower Protection Policy which is intended to ensure that concerns regarding unethical or illegal practices, which includes modern slavery concerns, can be reported
[61] For the purposes of the policy, reports can be made via an independently operated whistleblower hotline
[61] Reports can be made anonymously, and Baby Buntings whistleblowing protection processes are intended to ensure that the anonymity of people making whistleblowing reports is protected as required by the Whistleblower Protection Act

[2757] Ixoms chemicals and materials businesses manufacture chemical products and also procure chemicals and materials for resale with Ixom acting as distributor or reseller
[2757] Supply chain
[2757] Ixoms supply chain for products and services focuses on, amongst other things, safety, reliability, quality and functionality of products and services, regulatory compliance and the ability to source and supply in the volumes required when needed
[2757] Ixoms traded chemicals, and also equipment components used in its manufacturing plants and water technology equipment, are sourced from manufacturers and resellers that meet Ixoms standards
[2757] These products are in most cases imported in to the country of resale via ocean shipping
[2757] Ixoms suppliers outside Australia and New Zealand are located predominantly in North America, Asia and Europe
[5015] It continues to consult with the group entities within its operational control (including SMBC-LF), given that such entities operate in the same financial services industry as SMBC, it believes that the modern slavery risks in its operations and supply chains is representative of the risks in the operations and supply chains of such group entities
[5015] It is also acknowledged that modern slavery risks can also arise through the operations and actions of SMBC-LFs customers
[5015] SMBC-LF, therefore, may be linked to such risks, as either a provider of financial services
[5015] Again, where these customers operate within jurisdictions or sectors with a high risk of modern slavery, this risk is heightened
[5015] SMBC-LF and SMBCs control processes in respect of these risks are set out in section 4 below
[5015] SMBC-LF and SMBCs actions to assess and address risks of modern slavery practices
[5015] SMBC Groups commitment to human rights SMBC Group believes that it has an ethical responsibility to promote human rights by showing respect for human rights through its own behavior and by sharing its ethos with its customers
[5015] As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, the SMBC Group is committed to fulfilling the social responsibilities that are expected of it as a global financial group to create a society that is built on the utmost respect for human rights as directed by the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the "ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work," the "ISO 26000" guidelines on the social responsibilities of organisations, and the "Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights" advocated by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011
[9307] Stanmore is undergoing a transformational period for the business as a result of the acquisition of SMC and will report on these developments in the next reporting period under the Act
[9307] Our supply chains Our supply chains include procurement for the coal mining, development, and exploration operations (which accounts for the vast majority of our supply chain) and procurement for our general business operations
[9307] In the Reporting Period, Stanmores direct suppliers were predominantly located in Australia
[9307] We had over 300 active suppliers with over $400 million in procurement expenditure
[9307] Over 99% of expenditure was paid to suppliers registered in Australia
[9307] The majority of this expenditure (58%) was to Golding as our mining and CHPP operator
[9307] Stanmore Resources Limited | Modern Slavery Statement 2021 USA 1.0% Brazil 0.3% Singapore 0.3% Australia 98.1% Vendor numbers geographical distribution by percentage Mining, development and exploration operations supply chain Stanmore procures (directly and indirectly) services and products from a broad range of industries
[61] Where issues are investigated and substantiated, Baby Bunting will take appropriate action
[61] Measuring effectiveness Baby Bunting has a focus on further developing the systems it has in place for ensuring ethical sourcing
[61] In the years ahead, Baby Bunting has a goal of expanding the range of suppliers who are complying with its ethical sourcing procedures, completing risk assessments and, where necessary, undertaking corrective actions
[61] Baby Bunting acknowledges the importance of seeking to ensure that modern slavery is eliminated from our supply chains and we understand the role we can play in achieving that
[61] The steps we have undertaken are the beginning of our efforts in this area
[61] We are committed to the ongoing delivery of our initiatives and working with our stakeholders to contribute to the elimination of modern slavery

[2757] 13 2020 MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT
[2757] Risk of modern slavery practices 4.1 Overview Whilst it is not aware of any modern slavery in its own operations or supply chains, Ixom wants to ensure its suppliers continue to uphold the highest standards expected of them
[2757] Ixom maintains zero tolerance for slavery in its operations and supply chain
[2757] Ixoms Legal and Compliance Group, in consultation with a multidisciplinary working group including Ixoms product managers, procurement teams and other internal stakeholders, undertook a modern slavery compliance risk assessment in 2019
[2757] The process involved the analysis of cross sections of Ixoms Australian, New Zealand and South East Asian businesses to identify those parts of its operations and supply chain that carry a higher level of modern slavery risks
[2757] From this analysis, Ixom developed a set of key focus areas for modern slavery compliance and due diligence for the forthcoming 12 month period as well as a longer horizon work plan for the forthcoming 3 years
[2757] The Bowtie methodology used in this risk assessment was implemented as an important element of Ixoms risk assessment, a model generally applied to analyse and demonstrate causal relationships in specific risk scenarios
[5015] Further information on SMBC Groups commitment to sustainability can be found here: https://www.smfg.co.jp/english/sustainability/group_sustainability/management/
[5015] SMFG has also published a Statement on Human Rights, which recognises the ethical responsibility of the SMBC Group to support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights and to prevent complicity on human rights violations
[5015] Further information in relation to SMBC Groups commitment to human rights can be found here: https://www.smfg.co.jp/english/sustainability/group_sustainability/forrights/
[5015] SMBC Group has positioned the sustainable development of society as a key issue and in October 2018 the establishment of its Corporate Sustainability Committee enables SMBC Group to better carry out related initiatives
[5015] SMBC-LF and SMBC acknowledges its obligation to respect human rights and acknowledges its responsibilities in an evolving area
[5015] SMBC-LF and SMBC are committed to an ongoing review and assessment of its business practices and approach to human rights in light of changing global circumstances
[5015] SMBC Group is committed to maintaining and improving systems and processes to mitigate the risk that it might be involved in the commission of slavery and human trafficking in any part of its operations, customers and supply chain (including contractors and suppliers), products, services and employee activities
[5015] SMBC-LF and SMBCs policies and procedures, including, where applicable, those relating to modern slavery risks, are reviewed on a regular basis for applicability and appropriateness
[9307] The external supply chain for our mining operations is summarised as follows
[9307] Exploration specialised drilling contractors, geophysical contractors, assay laboratories, and consultants
[9307] Mining open pit mining equipment, hire and maintenance contractors, open-pit drilling & blasting contractors, fuels, lubes, and explosives suppliers
[9307] Processing grinding media, reagents, and shutdown contractors
[9307] Delivery/transport coal product transport for export by rail and ship (for export vessels are contracted by the purchasing party for FOB delivery, not by Stanmore)
[9307] For the Reporting Period, Stanmore had a principal contract arrangement with Golding, a subsidiary of NRW Holdings Limited, for the Isaac Plains Complex
[9307] Golding was responsible for mining and CHPP operational activities on-site and engaged additional subcontractors to enable contract fulfilment
[9307] As a result of this arrangement, the majority of Stanmores procurement expenditure was directly with Golding
[61] CONCLUSION 4 Matt Spencer, CEO and Managing Director, Baby Bunting Group Limited, Baby Bunting Pty Ltd
[96] 2019 Intel Corporation Statement on combating modern slavery May 2020 reporting for fiscal year ending December 28, 2019 Intel1 is committed to ensuring modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our business or supply chain
[96] As part of this commitment, we continually strive to achieve the highest level of ethical, environmental, and employee-related standards within our own businesses and supply chains, making sure that employees, partners, suppliers, and others are working together to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking
[96] The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), the U.K
[96] Modern Slavery Act 2015, and the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (the Acts) require certain companies to state their efforts and action taken during the financial year to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in their operations and supply chains
[96] Similarly, the revised Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.222-50 (Combating Trafficking in Persons) and new FAR provision 52.222-56 (Certification Regarding Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan) focus on eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from the U.S
[96] Federal Government contracting supply chain
[96] This 2019 Intel Corporation Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement (the Statement) is made pursuant to the requirements of the Acts and reflects Intels efforts to combat the conduct prohibited by the FARs anti-slavery and anti-trafficking provisions
[2757] In utilising this method, Ixom composed a visual summary of a range of plausible scenarios that could arise in relation to modern slavery and subsequent control measures to reduce or eliminate the risk of modern slavery being or becoming present within its operations and supply chain
[2757] In evaluating the potential occurrence of non-compliance, Ixom considered appropriate recovery measures and possible consequences of actions taken
[2757] Based on the outcome of this risk assessment, Ixom developed a work plan for its first reporting period which comprised of applying its modern slavery due diligence process in respect of third parties who supply the following goods and services to Ixom
[2757] office and site cleaning service providers
[2757] ocean shipping and freight services; and
[2757] raw materials grown or extracted from the earth and supplied to Ixom with little or no refinement
[2757] Operations During the reporting period approximately 70% of Ixoms employees were based in Australia, New Zealand and the USA
[2757] Ixom takes its compliance with labour laws extremely seriously
[5015] Screening for connections to jurisdictions with human rights issues is conducted on an ongoing basis
[5015] SMBC subsidiary in the UK (SMBC Bank International plc, SMBC BI) implemented an Anti- Slavery Policy in 2015
[5015] This was expanded in 2018 to the SMBC EMEA Anti-Slavery Policy and is applicable to all SMBC branches in the EMEA region including SMBC-LFs EMEA operations
[5015] The Policy states that in the spirit of best practice, SMBC seeks to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of its businesses or supply chains
[5015] SMBCs actions in connection with its workplace environment SMBC seeks to provide a workplace free from any type of violation of employees' human rights, including but not limited to, forced labour, harassment and discrimination without distinction of any kind such as race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, national origin, disability, family status and birth status
[5015] This is reflected in SMBCs numerous public statements on its commitment to protecting human rights as well as its employee codes of conduct and policy and procedure manuals in operation across its global network
[5015] SMBC and its group entities within its operational control (including SMBC-LF) require their employees to adhere to the same high standards that it has committed to in respect of human rights, with employees agreeing as part of their employment terms to adhere to various codes of conduct and other organisational policies which require employees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, which includes those relating to modern slavery
[5015] SMBC and the group entities which it owns or controls (including SMBC-LF) have in place a whistleblower framework that includes an alarm line to rapidly detect and rectify legal violations, violations of bank rules, and cases of abuse of power
[9307] As disclosed in NRW Groups joint statement, Goldings supply chains include primarily labour-hire, plant and equipment (including parts), concrete, quarry, asphalt, fuel, OTR tyres, and steel reinforcement
[9307] We also worked with suppliers from Brazil, Singapore and the USA, predominantly in the professional services sector
[9307] In addition to the long-term mining services agreement with Golding, we generally engaged our other suppliers with a view to creating long-standing, stable relationships, or diversifying our local engagement
[9307] Stanmore Resources Limited | Modern Slavery Statement 2021 In 2021, SMR undertook the appointment process for a new mining services contractor, and we will be transitioning to an owner-operator model for the CHPP
[9307] Mining activities under this new appointment are set to commence in Q2 2022, and we will report on this new appointment in our statement for the next reporting period
[9307] General business operations supply chain The main types of goods and services that Stanmore procures for our general business operations are
[9307] Safety and other attire: This includes personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, work boots, hard hats, and high visibility vests used by our employees at our facilities
[9307] Corporate/building services: The services that we use to maintain our offices, including maintenance services, cleaning and security
[96] The statement aims to provide consumers detailed information to make better, more informed choices about the products and services they buy and the companies they support
