Demonstrated progress

We assesses the effectiveness of our modern slavery programme through due diligence activity, audit outcomes, training completion rates and Speak Up reporting mechanisms. During the reporting period, we strengthened our risk assessment framework, supplier oversight processes and effectiveness monitoring. Future priorities include expanded workforce awareness and the continued development of measurable KPIs to demonstrate progress over time.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Use of temporary labour via subcontractors on UK infrastructure sites, where oversight of recruitment practices and working conditions may be limited.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 2 suppliers
• Group: Migrants Refugees
• Location: United Kingdom
• Mitigation: We’re strengthening contractor onboarding, requiring ethical labour standards, and increasing site-level checks to ensure fair recruitment and working conditions.
• Risk: Complex, multi-tiered supply chains in construction and engineering services, limiting visibility of labour practices beyond Tier 1 suppliers.
• Mitigation: We’re mapping supply chains beyond Tier 1, embedding modern slavery due diligence in procurement, and engaging key suppliers to improve transparency and accountability.
• Risk: Procurement of goods and services from global suppliers or client specified products where country-of-origin risks and lack of transparency may mask exploitative labour practices.
• Area: Within your own operations
• Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
• Mitigation: We prioritise UK-based sourcing and local suppliers where possible and are enhancing supplier risk screening to reduce exposure to modern slavery in complex international supply chains.
