Our supply chains.
Our main supply chains are:

- Cleaning

- Temporary labour
The Liberti Group and its subsidiaries are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Consideration will also be given in future to implementing a standalone policy on slavery and human trafficking.
The Liberti Group adheres to the CFO Centre Group ‘Speak Up’ policy, intended to provide a process for and protection to our employees and contractors who wish to raise genuine concerns regarding, amongst other things, our business practices. This policy was updated this year to ensure it is consistent with recent legal developments and recommended good practice as well as making express reference to modern slavery in a supply chain as an example of a potential concern staff might disclose under the policy.
What we are doing now
A review of our procurement practices which includes:
- A contracts management process which will include identifying risk types, including modern slavery.

- Continuing to identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
- Continuing to commit to the protection of whistle blowers and to encourage the reporting ofgenuine concerns, including in respect of modern slavery and human trafficking.
- Considering appropriate, effective, and proportionate ways of raising staff awareness.
