[7738] This process is accompanied by internal checks and balances, as all material contracts need sign off from senior management, including consideration of risks relating to the supply
[7738] HT&E reviews and tracks contract procurement processes in order to check internal practices are complied with
[7738] This compliance is also supported by our key corporate governance policies
[7738] Whilst it is not feasible for HT&E to comprehensively investigate all activities of its suppliers, HT&E will continue to review its operations and its procurement of goods and services to monitor and identify whether there are risks relating to modern slavery which HT&E may then be able to mitigate
[12153] Suppliers in this category are large-scale operations and have long standing agreements with multi-national corporate manufacturers
[12153] Vitamins China Low-medium
[12153] There are multiple suppliers used within this category
[12153] Preference is given to those with international accreditation and professional operational standards
[12153] It is not unusual to work with agencies and/or wholesalers to procure specialized ingredients, which may increase risk
[12153] Flavors Various Medium
[12153] Whilst flavorings are often processed in Australia, the ingredients are sourced from international markets
[12153] The complexity of the indirect supply chain and small scale creates a less certain view of Modern Slavery compliance
[1797] the supplier geographic location and / or the product country of origin, where known; and
[1797] the workforce profile of the service or commodity
[1797] Approximately 40% of the 824 suppliers included in the high-level analysis were identified as potentially high risk in accordance with the methodology
[1797] It is important to clarify that the review did not asses supplier risk levels based on individual supplier practices or behaviour, and it is not an indication that these suppliers are knowingly causing or contributing to modern slavery
[1797] It serves as an indication that the industry sector or geographic location of the supplier carries a greater risk exposure
[1797] The information helps us prioritise our modern slavery prevention and awareness efforts according to risk potential, as well as providing a baseline for our ongoing supplier due diligence processes
[1797] Our supplier profile is likely to change in future years, given the nature of capital works programs, however the spend categories in which our spend occurs is less likely to change significantly
[1797] For this reason, spend category risk was a key focus of the risk review

[3961] The Group recognises that risk of modern slavery is greater where QSAs operating entities do not have direct knowledge of the terms and conditions between its suppliers and their employees and sub-suppliers, and particularly in geographies and industries with a higher prevalence of modern slavery
[3961] In the 2020 reporting year, the Group identified the following areas of its business that may entail modern slavery risks in its supply chain: (a) Engagement of local labour for PNG operations, given PNG has an estimated 10.3 victims of modern slavery per 1000 population (compared to Australias estimated 0.6 victims of modern slavery per 1000 population).1 (b) Cleaning of its leased offices, as cleaning services have been identified as a key risk area for modern slavery in Australia.2 (c) Procurement of the following products, based on the US Department of Labors 2020 List of Goods Produced by Child Labour or Forced Labour
[3961] Steel-containing product
[3961] may be procured as formed product (eg pipe, structural steel, reinforcing steel) or be incorporated in plant, tools and equipment; and
[3961] steel could have been produced using raw materials (eg iron or coal) extracted or refined under modern slavery conditions
[7738] Effectiveness in addressing modern slavery The processes HT&E currently undertakes provide a framework for managing the risks relating to modern slavery
[7738] HT&E will continue to review the risks and effectiveness of actions to mitigate risks relating to modern slavery

[1797] Supplier Spend Modern Slavery Profile FY 2019-20 47% 35% 18% Low Risk Medium Risk High Risk Based on the analysis, the following subcategories of spend within the ANZSIC groupings were identified as potentially high- risk
[1797] HUNTER WATER 13 OUR MODERN SLAVERY ACTION PLAN What we have done In the 2019-20 reporting period, we undertook a detailed organisational gap analysis and a supplier data analysis to identify potential modern slavery risks and opportunities within our operations and supply chains
[1797] We engaged a consultant specialising in modern slavery capability to assist us in providing awareness training on modern slavery risks, which included members of our Executive Management Team, via action planning workshops
[1797] The gap analysis and action planning workshops informed the development of an organisational-wide Modern Slavery Action Plan and Road Map
[1797] The gap analysis process highlighted a high level of commitment and support across our business to address modern slavery, acknowledging the need for further awareness and training on modern slavery risks, and how we can treat these risks within our organisation and supply chain
[1797] We have presented the Action Plan and Road Map to our Executive Management Team on our proposed plans to treat modern slavery risk within the business, as well as what our legislative requirements are as a Reporting Entity
[1797] Building on the level of commitment, and the need to implement the actions from the Modern Slavery Action Plan, during the reporting period we established a Sustainable Procurement Working Group

[3961] Copper-containing product
[3961] may be procured as cabling or wire, or incorporated into manufactured goods including electronics, IT equipment, construction equipment, tools; and
[3961] copper could have been extracted or refined under modern slavery conditions
[3961] iii
[3961] IT equipment, which is procured from local wholesalers / retailers which have been assessed by the Group as having low modern slavery risk but may have been assembled overseas in conditions where modern slavery may be prevalent
[3961] Laptops, computers and mobile phones were also ranked as the top modern slavery at-risk product category in 2018 for imports into the G20.3 iv
[3961] Clothing, footwear and branded products that may have been manufactured, or may include raw materials that have been produced, under modern slavery conditions (eg cotton, fabrics, yarn or rubber)
[7771] Previously, Beyond Blue has voluntarily published a Modern Slavery Statement on the basis that it was felt appropriate for it to be pro-active in the management of its modern slavery risks and obligations
[7771] The purpose of this Statement is to outline our approach to ensuring that Beyond Blue has robust frameworks and processes in place to minimise the risk of modern slavery in our business operations and supply chain
[7771] Preparation of this statement is also consistent with our organisational values of
[7771] Collaboration - We treat all people, and other organisations, with humility and compassion and value the knowledge they share with us
[7771] Integrity - Honesty and transparency are the guiding principles for all our work
[7771] We are authentic and open about why, when and how we engage with the community, and we are transparent about how we use those learnings and what we need to do to improve
[7771] Our business
[7771] Beyond Blue is an Australian public company, limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
[12153] Hardware and software
[12153] Each supplier has completed a tender and selection process before being selected
[12153] All services are provided within Australia and present a low risk
[12153] Manufacturing Partners
[12153] Cranky Health use manufacturing partners, outside of Custom Foods, to transform the primarily blended powder into secondary products such as bars and ready to drink products
[12153] All manufacturing partners are within Australia and are regularly visited and audited by Cranky Health employees
[12153] This area presents a low risk
[12153] Customers
[1797] This Working Group includes representatives from across several functions within our business, and is accountable to the Group Manager Procurement for the delivery and monitoring of sustainable procurement objectives, including the Modern Slavery Action Plan
[1797] PAGE 14 MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT 2019-20 2019-20 Action Plan Gap Analysis: Operational risks and gaps were assessed during workshops involving a cross-disciplinary team
[1797] Systems and processes were assessed for potential gaps in addressing modern slavery across areas including management systems, risk management, procurement and supply chains, human resources and recruitment and customers and stakeholders
[1797] Awareness Training: Hunter Water engaged an external consultant to deliver Modern Slavery Awareness Training to staff across the organisation with responsibility across the procurement / supplier management lifecycle
[1797] The training focused on defining Modern Slavery, the legislative requirements, identifying threats and opportunities for Hunter Water to mitigate the risk
[1797] Road Map: The results of the gap analysis informed the development of an organisational wide Modern Slavery Action Plan a three year road map for implementation
[1797] Sustainable Procurement Working Group: Hunter Water has re-established the Sustainable Procurement Working Group to provide a cross- functional forum to review, update and progress the modern slavery road map, as well as identify and flag the resources required to ensure capacity and capability to deliver against the Modern Slavery Action Plan
[1797] Board and Executive Engagement: High level of engagement on modern slavery risks with the Board and Executive Management Team
[3961] Garments were also the second-ranked modern slavery at-risk product category in 2018 for imports into the G20.4

[3961] RISKS OF MODERN SLAVERY
[3961] IN OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAINS
[3961] 13 QUANTA SERVICES AUSTRALIA MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT CASE STUDY PROCUREMENT OF LABOUR IN PNG Local labour is procured by Nacap in two ways: (a) Firstly, through referrals by Nacaps client (a leading consulting and engineering company), where the client negotiates directly with local communities to identify potential work candidates from within each community
[3961] Nacap and its client jointly agree which of the identified workers will be seconded to Nacap and, from that point, the workers are directly engaged under Nacaps supervision
[3961] (b) Secondly, labour is sourced through an Australian-based labour- hire company that specialises in recruitment and staffing solutions for PNG projects
[3961] Nacap has a long-standing relationship with this company and they have operated in PNG for over 30 years, and service many of the resource majors operating in the country
[7771] The members of Beyond Blue are the Commonwealth of Australia and each Australian State and Territory
[7771] Beyond Blue
[7771] is registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)
[7771] is classified as a Health Promotion Charity under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth)
[7771] is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient and is eligible for certain tax concessions
[7771] acts as the Trustee of the Beyond Blue Depression Research Ancillary Fund Trust (Trust)
[7771] The purpose of the Trust is to commission and undertake research relating to depression, anxiety and related conditions
[7771] Established in 2000, Beyond Blue is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation working to increase awareness and understanding of depression, anxiety and suicide prevention in Australia and reduce associated stigma
[12153] Cranky Health brands are sold within the major retailers within Australia and are typically publicly listed companies with Modern Slavery policies
[12153] Custom Foods manufacture for brands and customers alongside the core Cranky Health brands, and this third-party manufacturing contributed to approximately 10% of the production volume
[12153] Our 3rd party partners reside within Australia and typically do not meet the threshold for public Modern Slavery statements
[12153] Retail customers and third-party manufacturing customers present a low Modern Slavery risk
[12153] Assesses the effectiveness of these actions
[12153] This document represents the first Modern Slavery statement for Cranky Health
[12153] During the review, consultation, and preparation of this statement there were several areas for improvement identified
[12153] We anticipate that between the submission of this F22 statement and F23, there will be significant progression
[1797] Hunter Water began its journey to understand, assess and address Modern Slavery through the following actions
[1797] HUNTER WATER 15 What we will do Our Road Map includes the actions we are currently progressing as well as the actions we will achieve over the next three reporting periods
[1797] These are broadly categorised into five focus areas covering
[1797] due diligence
[1797] awareness and training
[1797] engagement and collaboration
[1797] procurement and supply chain; and
[1797] governance
[3961] Our review found that the employment of local workers is a key component of getting support for large oil and gas projects from their communities
[3961] The relationship is largely one of mutual benefit which mitigates the potential for local unrest and human rights abuses
[3961] It was also found that the ultimate client, which is one of the worlds largest oil and gas majors, clearly communicates its expectations on human rights to its suppliers on an annual basis
[3961] These expectations include references to key international human rights frameworks, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
[3961] The ultimate client has also submitted modern slavery and human trafficking statements under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015
[3961] Nacaps agreement with the Australian- based labour hire company was entered into prior to passage of the Act and will be reviewed as part of the future actions described below
[3961] However, the agreement contains provisions that, in our view, serve to mitigate the risk of modern slavery, such as
[3961] Stating the amounts which are to be paid to employees based on job classification (without reduction or offset by the provider)
[7771] Our vision is that all people in Australia achieve their best possible mental health
[7771] For more information about our business structure, strategy and performance, please refer to our website www.beyondblue.org.au
[7771] Respect for human rights is fundamental to our values and the long-term sustainability of our business, and to the wellbeing of the communities in which we operate
[7771] At Beyond Blue, this means doing business in a
[7771] way that acknowledges and respects the rights of our people, community and service providers to be free from practices of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking and child labour
[7771] Beyond Blue is committed to complying with the labour rights standards, legislation and statutory requirements in Australia
[7771] Further, Beyond Blue is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings, and to ensuring its service providers and suppliers comply with the labour rights standards, legislation and statutory requirements in the countries in which they operate
[7771] Our operations and supply chain Our key operations and the associated supply chains are as follows: Area Main operations Supply chain Corporate functions
[12153] The areas identified are, but not limited to, the following
[12153] Safety systems and culture
[12153] Building improved safety systems to drive culture and behavior
[12153] Ethical sourcing policy to supporting Procurement, Human Resources, and indirect supplier compliance
[12153] Increase business awareness through inclusion within the new starter induction and regular business training
[12153] Management process in place for lack of adherence to Cranky Healths Modern Slavery standards
[12153] Process of Consultation This statement has been prepared in consultation with relevant subject-matter experts of Cranky Health and Custom Foods
[12153] This statement has been reviewed and approved for publishing by the Cranky Health board
[1797] The Road Map Over the next three years Hunter Water has identified actions to further assess and address modern slavery risks: An organisation wide training needs analysis will be conducted to determine training and awareness requirements across roles and responsibilities
[1797] Training will be undertaken in accordance with Hunter Waters Learning Management System
[1797] Awareness and Training Actions to integrate modern slavery requirements in to procurement processes, conduct supply chain risk profiling and updating of policies and guidelines is planned along with engagement with identified high risk suppliers
[1797] Procurement and Supply Chain Hunter Water will integrate modern slavery risk management as a compliance requirement in to the Enterprise Risk Management framework
[1797] External independent review of our modern slavery management processes is planned to assess action effectiveness
[1797] Hunter Water has committed to working with our suppliers, other regional organisations and the broader water industry to drive collaboration, improve sustainability performance and increase modern slavery awareness
[1797] These actions will be critical to advancing the Hunter Water Modern Slavery Road Map
[1797] Hunter Water will review all relevant policies, procedures, contracts and customer feedback / grievance mechanisms to ensure modern slavery obligations are captured, and concerns can be raised confidentially and managed appropriately
[3961] The provider is entitled to be reimbursed for costs associated with worker engagement and mobilisation (eg travel, medical); IN 2020, QSA REVIEWED THE PROCESS BY WHICH ITS OPERATING COMPANY, NACAP, ENGAGES LOCAL LABOUR TO SUPPORT ITS PNG OPERATIONS
[3961] Prohibition of solicitation of payments from prospective employees to guarantee employment; and
[3961] Provision of accommodation by Nacaps client or the ultimate client, being the same or similar standard provided to Nacap for its project management staff
[3961] Nacap also has direct contact with the workers which affords them opportunity to raise concerns of human rights or other violations
[3961] Based on our review and for the reasons described above, the Group considers there to be low risk of modern slavery within its arrangements for sourcing and engaging PNG labour
[3961] Nacap also sources labour from countries other than Australia and PNG to support its PNG operations
[3961] This labour consists of mainly skilled, semi-professional and professional workers, and is mostly sourced from Indonesia and Philippines, either directly by Nacap on a referral basis, or seconded via the same Australian-based labour-hire company used to procure local labour
[3961] The Group will report further on these arrangements in a future modern slavery statement
