Demonstrated progress

The statement shows progress through continuous improvement actions year‑on‑year, including enhanced supplier training, updated procurement controls, strengthened collaboration with DfT, and internal assurance reviews. It also sets clear forward actions for 2025–26, demonstrating an evolving, proactive approach to identifying, managing, and reducing modern slavery risks across operations and the supply chain.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: The highest exposure sits within the supply chain, particularly in deeper tiers. This includes risks linked to subcontracted labour, raw materials, and outsourced services.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
• Group: Migrants Refugees
• Mitigation: National Highways focused on supply chain risk, labour practices in subcontracted operations, and improving detection through awareness and reporting mechanisms as its key modern slavery risk priorities.
• Risk: Operational environments (e.g. roadworks, major projects) may involve agency workers or subcontracted labour, which can increase vulnerability to exploitation or poor labour practice
• Risk: Failure to identify, recognise, and report signs of modern slavery across the organisation and supply chain.
