Geographic risk level: Low
We consider the geographic risk of our suppliers
to be low given 99% of our direct suppliers are
based in Australia. Most of our direct overseas
suppliers are based in countries which have a
strong rule of law and mechanisms that protect
human rights and have themselves implemented
modern slavery strategies.
We acknowledge New Horizons may be linked
to modern slavery practices through its second
and third tier suppliers that operate in, or
procure goods and services from, nations that
report high occurrences of labour and human
rights violations and socio-economic factors like
poverty and widespread discrimination.
