Rio Tinto publishes an annual statement where we outline how we have performed in our response to addressing modern slavery, and our future areas of focus. It is an important opportunity for us to reflect on our efforts, share our progress and learnings, and recognise where challenges persist and what we can do better. IOC adheres to these same principles as a business unit of Rio Tinto's Minerals Group.
The statement includes a description of our structure, business and supply chains, including the policies, standards and processes that contribute to our control framework to respect human rights and help protect against our involvement in modern slavery. We identify where we may be involved in modern slavery risks in our business and supply chains. We also explain our due diligence processes for how we assess and mitigate modern slavery risks including our approach to training and capacity building and how we engage and collaborate with stakeholders. We describe our grievance mechanisms and remediation processes. We also explain how we assess the effectiveness of our actions and outline the process of consultation undertaken across our business. Our statement aligns with the requirements of modern slavery reporting laws globally.
