These include: Working with Suppliers and Partners Policy which sets out internal requirements for buying goods and services; Responsible Procurement Policy covering issues of human rights, child and forced labour and modern slavery, which Binatone suppliers are required to comply with Whistleblowing Policy which encourages staff to report concerns including any related to modern slavery/trafficking and child or forced labour. Due Diligence We continue to monitor suppliers we believe present high modern slavery risks in our supply chain. This includes those who support the procurement of goods and materials for our products and particularly where those goods and materials are acquired from suppliers in high risk countries. All suppliers which we class as high risk must: complete our Modern Slavery Act Due Diligence Questionnaire which covers their governance, policies, training and supply chain management processes; and on an annual basis and prior to sourcing, provide full detail of the supply chains they are proposing to commission goods from on behalf of Binatone Binatone is responsible for assessing the information submitted by suppliers where necessary Binatone will take appropriate action and in certain circumstances may terminate a contract with a supplier around a suppliers policies to its workers Training During the year, we will develop advice and guidance to those teams who have direct responsibility for relevant supply chains and our Procurement team has participated in further modern slavery training. We also will develop and maintain a Modern Slavery Act Guidance document which is available to staff Looking Ahead Over the course of the next financial year we will continue to enhance our procedures to help us identify, prevent and mitigate any risks of modern slavery or human trafficking in relation to new and existing suppliers.
