2025 SMI MODERN SLAVERY
In 2023, we transitioned from our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy to a
broader ESG 2030 Strategy, supported by an annual ESG reporting framework
and a dedicated Environmental Policy.
In 2024, we began developing:
An internal manual for SMI employees to understand our supplier-related
policies and procedures (including supplier onboarding, audit protocols,
continuous improvement expectations, and responsible exit strategies).
An external supplier manual to clearly communicate these requirements
across our supply chain.
Strengthening Our Approach in 2025
In 2025, we launched our RSPS Framework (Responsible Sustainable Partner
Strategy), designed to further embed human rights due diligence into our supply
chain practices. As part of this framework, we introduced our first Human Rights
Impact Assessment Report, which assesses actual and potential human rights
risks across key sourcing regions and categories.
This new framework enables us to:
Prioritise risk-based supplier engagement and remediation.
Increase transparency and accountability in our procurement processes.
Drive continuous improvement and responsible sourcing practices across our
global operations.
