We recognise that by its very nature, modern slavery is hard to detect and is often hidden within seemingly legitimate industries, as such we perform risk analyses of our supply chain operations across the Company as part of our supply chain evaluation process, including those in foreign nations where there is thought to be a material risk of slavery or human trafficking. We continuously assess the results of our supply chain evaluation procedure to make sure that there is little chance of an incident occurring.

To ensure adherence to the established policies, we have undertaken supply chain assessment audits where we have identified a material risk. We shall monitor all the companies that are a part of our supply chain and undertake assessment audits where we suspect there may be a danger of slavery or human trafficking.

To ensure that our partners meet or exceed the criteria of our modern slavery and human trafficking policy, WSD employs a rigorous supply chain approach that includes compliance checks.

As a provider of financial services with clients in numerous countries, we are aware of the dangers posed by transactions that could be connected to human trafficking and modern slavery. Risks are assessed based on a number of variables, such as the type of consumer, location, industry, and product.
