We deplore all forms of personal harassment, and have taken steps to enhance the measures we take to protect all personnel from sexual harassment.

To do this, we have:

• Ensured that the expectations of our policy are extended to any visitors, clients, suppliers and other third parties, making clear that action will be taken in the event of a breach.

• Provided enhanced training to all Company personnel so they are able to identify and report any instances of sexual harassment, and to reiterate the support that is available to them.

• Developed and empowered our managers to recognise harassment and handle complaints thoroughly and sensitively.

• Enhanced our reporting process, enabling individuals to raise any concerns in confidence, and ensuring that all personnel our are aware of this process.

We will continue to review and enhance our practices to ensure that we uphold our obligations under the Worker Protection Act, and create a workplace environment free from harassment of any kind.
