We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and taking reasonable steps to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any business or organisation that has any sort of a business relationship with our individual business units. Polices for slavery and human trafficking JRD has a zero-tolerance policy to slavery and human trafficking. We expect all those in our supply chain and contractors to comply with our values which is being written into an Ethical Code of conduct for the business. Due Diligence for slavery and human trafficking JRD is undertaking a process of risk assessment through use of the Global Slavery index to identify high risk countries of origin for our products and then identify mitigating processes to prevent both slavery and human trafficking. As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate risk HR in combination with Mentor has in place systems to encourage the reporting of concerns and the protection of whistle blowers. Our supply chain providers are always with a UK provider and we expect these entities to provide JRD with evidence of these anti-slavery and human trafficking policies and processes. To identify through the use of Horizon Scanning any issues related to Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking for products supplied from our divisions.
