The following table summarises the activities we consider posing the highest risk of slavery and human trafficking in the industries in which we operate, with, in each case, a summary of the steps we have in place to prevent these from affecting our activities or supply chains. 

Industry Risk	Steps Taken
Our business purchases products from overseas suppliers in Thailand who are scored as ‘high risk’ under our supply chain integrity policies	We undertake detailed Know Your Customer processes, including a review of Transparency International’s corruption index, and we commission: 1. Third-party diligence reports prior to their onboarding; and 2. External (SGS) factory and ethics audits.
Our business and certain of our UK suppliers employ seasonal workers during key periods of the year.	We have robust and embedded risk-based recruitment and onboarding processes which mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking in this space.
Our business engages agents and contractors to provide services including civil works, gas tank installation, removal, and maintenance, and the installation of heat and power technologies.	We only use approved contractors who have successfully completed our supplier onboarding process. The Know Your Supplier process includes a risk assessment based upon publicly available information and responses to due diligence questions which relate to areas including commitments to safety and human rights in the workplace.
