• Relationships: Strengthening our supplier engagement process

• Feedback: Establishing grievance mechanisms and channels for individual worker feedback

• Knowledge: Improving our knowledge base by collecting relevant data and improving product traceability

• Supplier collaboration: Encouraging suppliers to collaborate to address slavery and human trafficking issues

• Accountability: Establishing a framework for organisation accountability to allow for raising issues, making suggestions, voicing grievances and reporting slavery and human trafficking Due diligence procedures

We understand that our biggest exposure to Modern Slavery is in our recruitment process and monitoring of safe working conditions of our staff, and Air SS Ltd services have undertaken activity over the last year to minimise the risk of Modern Slavery. Within these areas, new suppliers and factories/sites are subject to due diligence checks in the form of ethical/compliance audits. Such audits are also regularly conducted for existing suppliers and factories/sites. These audits assess compliance with the Global Sourcing Principles and are, amongst other things, intended to identify any Modern Slavery practices. If issues are identified, appropriate investigative and remedial actions will be taken.

We set out to identify the extent of any slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains by:

• Conducting internal spot-checks at our customer premises

• Interviewing workers to discuss their conditions and their rights

• Collaborating with our suppliers to discuss an improvement plan to address any previously identified slavery and human trafficking issues

We discovered slavery and human trafficking to be most prevalent in the customers workplace. Reducing the incidence of slavery and human trafficking on our customers premises will be our focus point for the next financial year.

Key performance indicators

In order to assess the effectiveness of our modern slavery measures we will be reviewing the following key performance indicators:

• Relationships: Strengthening our supplier engagement process

• Feedback: Establishing grievance mechanisms and channels for individual worker feedback

• Knowledge: Improving our knowledge base by collecting relevant data and improving product traceability
