Demonstrated progress

Over the past year, we have strengthened our human rights governance by updating our risk review with Slave‑Free Alliance, streamlining escalation for non‑compliance and modern slavery indicators, launching an ethical inspection programme to enhance supplier oversight, and expanding supplier due diligence across more categories and sites. In 2026, we will focus on continuous improvement of our modern slavery risk management and ensuring compliance with legislative developments.
