Key Performance Indicators to Ensure Effectiveness of Processes

Our suppliers now provide us with their modern slavery statements and this is now part of our supplier onboarding process

For our key Suppliers, we conduct comprehensive human rights risk assessments to ensure that every procurement decision actively evaluates both the actual and potential human‑rights impacts tied to our suppliers, materials, and sourcing locations. This process is a fundamental element of our responsible‑sourcing framework, supporting our commitment to the Responsible Sourcing Policy and maintaining our B Corp standards.

Training on Modern Slavery and Trafficking

All employees discuss modern slavery risks and the importance of these as part of their induction training.

Employees involved in procurement activities receive additional ethical sourcing training, to ensure a deeper understanding of modern slavery and that Rheal’s compliance with the Act is achieved.
