Policies and Procedures
We have implemented a number of policies and procedures to identify and manage the risks of modern slavery within our business and supply chains:

• Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy: Our policy is to oppose all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We ensure that our suppliers are compliant with this policy through regular checks and audits.

• Supplier Code of Conduct: We require all of our suppliers to adhere to a code of conduct that explicitly prohibits modern slavery and human trafficking. This code sets out the expectations regarding labour practices, working conditions, and employee rights.

• Due Diligence: We carry out due diligence on potential suppliers before entering into business relationships. This process includes assessing the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking and taking appropriate steps to ensure compliance.

Risk Assessment and Management
ABC012 Ltd. continuously assesses and evaluates the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking within our supply chains and operations. We conduct regular risk assessments and have established procedures for reporting concerns about potential incidents of slavery or human trafficking.

Supplier Engagement
We engage with our suppliers to ensure they are aware of our commitment to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. We encourage transparency and seek to establish strong, long-term relationships with suppliers who uphold our values. In cases where we identify non-compliance with our policies, we work closely with suppliers to address the issues, and where necessary, we terminate relationships that fail to meet our ethical standards.

To assess the effectiveness of our modern slavery practices, we monitor our policies and regularly review our supply chain procedures. We also encourage employees and stakeholders to report any concerns they may have, and we investigate all reports thoroughly. Our monitoring includes performance audits and reviews of our risk assessment processes to ensure continuous improvement.
