Demonstrated progress

This year we’ve started to focus our efforts on increasing our 2nd line assurance of GB suppliers that we procure services from. This includes car wash sites we use for our fleet vehicles. We’ve also started analysing our wider procurement pipeline and have started developing a risk assessment for upcoming products and categories of spend over the next 2 years.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Risk of modern slavery through our contingent labour supply chain - temporary infrastructure labour working under the direction of Network Rail
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Don't know
• Mitigation: Additional controls have been put in place to ensure that high risk procurement categories (which includes the risk area above) have a strong level of assurance. The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT) is being rolled out with high risk suppliers being asked to provide a submission and we'll continue to ensure that additional risk areas have had good oversight by utilising the appropriate PSQ/ITT commercial question set during tender stage as well as conducting site visits.
• Risk: Risk of modern slavery through our facilities (soft services) supply chain - office and station services including waste management, cleaning, and catering.
• Risk: Risk of modern slavery through the purchase/use of products which originate from locations and/or manufacturing processes known to be high risk
