In alignment with our Supply Chain Policy, we have reinforced our commitment to managing ESG risks across our supply chain by revising the Code of Business Ethics for Suppliers and Business Associates. The updated code provides clearer expectations for social accountability, including human rights standards, fair labour practices, and workplace safety and health. Suppliers are encouraged to identify, monitor, and
improve their social impact, prioritising the well-being and safety of their employees.

To ensure the code is effectively implemented, we introduced a self-assessment form designed to evaluate suppliers’ social practices. This initiative was first rolled out to a group of identified high-risk suppliers, of which 80.8% met the social requirements outlined in the code.
