As a result of the review of its KPI (key performance indicator) the organisation requires all staff, supply chain managers within the organisation to complete the e-learning course on modern slavery. This helps make people aware how to identify the signs of slavery and human trafficking, and what initial steps should be taken and how to assess the risk.
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, the organisation has raised awareness of modern slavery issues by using a range of media to promote awareness.
