Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Sourcing food from global supply chains with a risk of slavery - so we use SEDEX to connect with suppliers to manage and minimise the risk
• Risk: Workers within our UK warehouses - so we implement policies for agency labour, making sure we use only a preferred supplier list
• Area: Within your own operations
• Mitigation: Via our policies for agency labour, described in our modern slavery statement, as well as training all our staff on how to spot red flags for exploitation, and how to escalate concerns appropriately
• Risk: Workers within our UK warehouses - so we train all staff on spotting red flags for exploitation, and run data checks on HR systems for red flags
• Group: Other vulnerable groups
• Mitigation: Training all our employees on how to spot red flags for exploitation, and how to escalate concerns appropriately. We also operate a third party whistleblowing mechanism
