2.1 Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It can take various forms, such as servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking (“modern slavery”), all of which include the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.

3.IDENTIFYING MODERN SLAVERY
3.1 Modern slavery may be found in:
- the business
- supply chains
- outsourced activities
3.2 There is no typical victim of modern slavery, and some victims do not understand they have been exploited and that they are entitled to help and support. The following key signs could indicate that someone may be a victim of modern slavery or human trafficking:
- The person is not in possession of their own passport, identification or travel documents
- The person is acting as though they are being instructed or coached by someone else
- The person allows others to speak for them when spoken to directly
- The person is dropped off and collected from work
- The person is withdrawn or appears frightened
- The person does not seem to be able to contact friends or family freely
- The person has limited social interaction or contact with people outside of their immediate environment
The above list is not exhaustive, and the Company is mindful that a person may display a one or more of these indicators without necessarily be a victim of slavery or trafficking.
