Demonstrated progress

VPI measures effectiveness by monitoring whether any reports are received from employees, the public or law enforcement indicating modern slavery, and whether any suppliers are rejected or stopped due to modern slavery concerns. No such reports or supplier issues were identified. VPI will continue implementing its policies and procedures, taking account of best practice guidance.
