All Leith employees are expected to highlight any concerns using the appropriate reporting channels, and local management are expected to act accordingly.

• Understanding our supply chain so as to identify and assess particular services and products or geographical risks of modern slavery and human trafficking

• Evaluating the risks through a detailed quality assessment process, which includes supplier declaration

• Conducting supplier audits.

Leith will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking.
