Demonstrated progress

We have 8 key indicators and actions listed in our statement which will be used to measure progress in our next statement. These include; producing a robust assurance process, upskilling construction and Healthy and Safety staff in spotting the signs of Modern Slavery, checking the compliance of our key suppliers to the MSA 2015, signing the Construction Protocol, responding to the Covid-19 crisis and rolling out the government's Modern Slavery Assessment Tool to the London Transport Museum.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Construction, both materials and workers on sites. Multi-tiered supply chain inherent in the industry, lead to lack of transparency and potential for poor and unethical recruitment practices.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
• Group: Migrants Refugees Children
• Location: Brazil China United Kingdom India
• Mitigation: Requirements for construction materials in the Surface Transport Infrastructure Contract and Telecommunications Project to comply with Building Research Establishment's Responsible Sourcing Standard BES6001. Modern slavery referenced in our Responsible Procurement checklist so procurement managers can identify relevant risk. Training workshops held with the Supply Chain Sustainability School for key staff and general e-training which included Modern Slavery required for all procurement staff.
• Risk: Workers in electronic hardware and batteries supply chains, particularly in China, East Asia and Democratic Republic of Congo. This includes in the mining of raw materials as well as product assembly.
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
• Location: Congo (Democratic Republic) China Czechia Indonesia India Malaysia Philippines Poland
• Mitigation: Electronics Watch terms and conditions are our standard approach to electronics hardware contracts, requiring transparency from suppliers and sharing intelligence with EW. We have embedded this in a number of contracts including Bus Radios, Oyster cards and ICT hardware. The supplier of 950 electric batteries for Routemaster buses has committed to working with us to understand and address the risk of human rights abuses related to the sourcing of conflict minerals, cobalt and lithium.
• Risk: Uniforms and workwear. Workers in China and Bangladesh with historic poor record of protecting labour rights in textiles production.
• Tier: Tier 2 suppliers
• Location: Bangladesh China
• Mitigation: Suppliers of uniforms and workwear are required to undertake social accountability audits against the 9 principles of the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code. We use Sedex to view and manage non-conformances. Recognising the limitations of audits, our uniform supplier is also required to undertake capacity building with their suppliers, educating factory workers on their labour rights including local health and safety laws, discrimination policies and rights to representation.
