URW's approach to value chain workers is embodied in an interconnected set of policies on human rights, modern slavery, responsible procurement, and Health & Safety, reflecting URW's commitment to uphold the highest standards in these areas. The Group recognises that its operations can have direct and indirect impacts on human rights and remains committed to make all reasonable endeavours in anticipating and mitigating risks as well as ensuring a positive contribution to the communities where URW operates.

URW's Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy outlines a zero-tolerance approach to all modern forms of slavery and trafficking, reflecting URW's commitment to eradicate forced and child labour in its supply chain. The policy includes provisions specifically targeted at combating the risk of all modern forms of slavery and human trafficking taking place in URW's supply chain. In addition to the clauses that are mandated by the General Purchasing Conditions, standard corporate contracts also include clauses that may require a bidder to: (a) Specify each sub-contractor’s management methods (such as project monitoring and work acceptance); (b) List the subcontractors (including each company’s name, purchase price, selling price and services provided); (c) Describe its methodology for initiating contract implementation and the various tools for making the most effective use of human resources (including comments on internal and/or geographic changes, and proximity to the bidder’s other sites); (d) Set out its trade training and other programmes, including the scheduling, organisation and frequency of such training; (e) Explain its policy for integrating hard-to-place individuals experiencing social or work-related problems; (f) Provide details as to its human resources costs (such as hourly wages and total hours per month/year and confirmation that all employees receive minimum legal wage payments and benefits); and (g) Report any concerns or offenses via URW’s Integrity Line, which is referenced in all contracts between URW and its goods and services providers.

URW occasionally uses communication and training sessions to engage with its value chain workers. These sessions aim to inform the workers about the impacts of their actions and decisions on the environment, society and the business. For instance, URW systematically seeks the validation of the right to work of employees, workers on the Group’s construction sites and workers at the centres, where applicable. In line with the policies presented in section 3.2.3.B.3 Policies related to value chain workers, URW engages its business partners and vendors to fight any occurrence of modern slavery, human rights infringements, or H&S issues that might impact value chain workers or their communities. URW also employs feedback mechanisms to allow value chain workers to express their concerns and suggestions regarding the impacts of their work. The main feedback mechanism is the direct access to URW’s grievance mechanism, the Integrity Line, as well as an access to the relevant teams managing construction sites.

The Group is committed to continuous improvement and is always looking for ways to enhance existing practices and deliver better outcomes for value chain workers. The Group’s approach to identifying what action is needed in response to a particular actual or potential material negative impact is part of the Group’s risk assessment process and based on the results of the double materiality analysis. This process included consultation with stakeholders, analysis of industry trends and consideration of regulatory requirements. H&S and the protection of value chain workers’ human rights, including the identification and prevention of any instance of modern slavery in the Company’s value chain, stand as the priorities identified.
