11 We have used the following risk factors to informour risk analysis: • Country of operation • Category of supplier service • Resources used in goods • Type of workforce On the basis of our assessment criteria, we have identified that our risk of modern slavery in our supply chains during the reporting period is through: • the procurement of subcontractors that provide labour on projects or for international projects in higher risk locations; • constructionmaterials, particularly when they are selected by our subcontractors; • onsite accommodation and catering provided by McConnell Dowell for projects in remote or international locations; • telecommunications and IT hardware; • cleaning; • security; and. • personal protective equipment (PPE). SupplyChain Risk standards and procedure, the demographic of these workers (who are often working outside their home country) and the jurisdictional risk of some of the locations where we operate (which are classified as higher risk by the Global Slavery Index), increases the risk of modern slavery in these operations. In Singapore we largely use labour hire providers while in other South East Asian countries we largely self-performprojects and labour is acquired by direct employment. On some of our projects, workers need to be accommodated onsite either because the sites are remote or where workers are brought in fromother locations. In most cases, McConnell Dowell directly accommodates workers supplied by subcontractors onsite, rather than by relying upon the relevant subcontractor to provide food and accommodation for those workers. This allows us to ensure that the living conditions of individuals working on our projects is appropriate, given the correlation betweenmodern slavery risk and the quality of food and accommodation provided to foreign workers. In respect of direct employees we have assessed that the risk of modern slavery is lower in Australia and NewZealand than across our South East Asian operations. Additionally, McConnell Dowell recognises that the risk of modern slavery occurring is greater where we do not have direct control over the terms and conditions of employment of a third party workforce. Of our operations, our projects outside Australia and New Zealand have the highest modern slavery risk.
