Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: We rely on suppliers being transparent and honest about their controls and measures on site to mitigate slavery risks.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children Other vulnerable groups
• Location: China Spain France United Kingdom Turkey
• Mitigation: We are Sedex members and expect our top 20 suppliers to be members too which means we can be assured that they uphold similar values and have controls in place to mitigate risk. Sedex perform independent audits and in addition, AKW employees undertake quarterly site visits to validate controls which have been reported as being in place.
• Risk: We are happy by virtue of the fact that our top 20 suppliers adhere to the convention of human rights and additionally are members of Sedex.
