3. GLORY’S commitment and initiatives to combat Slavery and Human Trafficking

GLORY is proud of its heritage of fair and ethical treatment of employees. In March 2014, GLORY LTD. signed the UN Global Compact and declared its commitment to the Global Compact’s 10 principles in the four fields of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. In 2024, GLORY identified “Respecting human rights” as one of the top sustainability material issues to be addressed in the 2026 Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2024-FY2026).

GLORY has a zero-tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and is committed to ensuring that there is no slavery or human trafficking in any part of its business including its supply chains.
GLORY considers its suppliers as important partners with whom GLORY aims to grow and develop through fair and transparent business. As part of an ongoing initiative, GLORY works with its suppliers to ensure there are systems in place to:

•    identify and assess potential risk areas in GLORY’s supply chains
•    monitor potential risk areas in GLORY’s supply chains
•    mitigate and eliminate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in GLORY’s supply chains
•    protect whistleblowers
 

In FY2024 GLORY has continued to enhance its supply chain compliance programme by:
 

  • carrying out due diligence on major tier 1 suppliers to ensure their understanding of and compliance with UK anti-slavery law as well as any related applicable laws in their country of operation;

  • requiring suppliers to commit to compliance with the GLORY Supplier Code of Conduct. This code includes, amongst other requirements, a prohibition on forced labour, inhuman treatment, child labour and discrimination and a requirement for the payment of appropriate wages, restrictions on working hours and respect for employees’ rights to freedom of association;

  • monitoring compliance by requiring customer-facing or supplier-facing employees of GLORY to review and confirm their compliance with our Legal Code of Conduct every year;

  • training relevant employees who have responsibility for our supply chain and procurement about the risk and process for ensuring there is no slavery and human trafficking within GLORY’s supply chains;

  • ensuring GLORY has suitable contractual undertakings from our third-party suppliers as to their compliance with the law in this area;

  • setting a 100% response rate KPI target (100% target reached in FY2023) from GLORY LTD’s new suppliers and tier 1 suppliers to its corporate and social responsibility checklist which includes, amongst other things, questions on forced labour, inhumane treatment of individuals and child labour;

  • setting a new Human Rights Policy and conducting a PDCA Human Rights Due Diligence review with initiatives;

  • promoting internal visibility of GLORY's whistleblowing and grievance procedures. GLORY maintains a multi-lingual whistleblowing programme accessible to employees and for business partners, a Compliance hotline; and having a dedicated compliance team which consists of professionals from Legal, Finance, Audit, Human Resources and Procurement.
