CRITERIA 5:
EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTIONS
Introduction
In the reporting period particular emphasis was placed on reviewing previous actions, continuing to build on the existing
operational framework and implementing initiatives previously identified to improve modern slavery.
A key to a mature and effective compliance framework is measuring its effectiveness by means such as testing and auditing. As
part of this compliance framework, an annual audit is in the process of being implemented, measuring key factors including:
•
compliance with policies and procedures such as the Hindmarsh Modern Slavery Policy;
•
reviewing the number of third parties such as suppliers and subcontractors who had due diligence conducted;
•
benchmarking Hindmarsh itself and key third parties connected to us;
•
auditing a supply chain; and
•
reviewing the number of employees to complete modern slavery training.
Auditing of this nature will then in turn influence key performance indicators, together with gaps and areas of our framework that
require improvement.
