14 Sustainability Framework and Policy McConnell Dowell recognises that we have a responsibility to ensure that our business is conducted in an environmentally & socially sustainablemanner. To assist us in this direction we have a documented sustainability framework that clearly states our intentions and provides guidance in our daily activity. During the reporting period our Sustainability Framework and Sustainability Policy were updated to incorporate the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals including as they relate to Human Rights andModern Slavery. Enhancing Engagement with our SupplyChain Procurement Documentation McConnell Dowell recognises that we are in a position to drive positive change to address modern slavery throughout our sphere of influence. As part of our prequalification process, all subcontractors and suppliers are required to complete a procurement pre-award evaluation. During the reporting periodwe revised and enhanced themodern slavery section of the Australian pre award evaluation to better identify and assess modern slavery risks within our supply chain. We also created amodern slavery section in the NewZealand pre award evaluation for the first time. Felix, our procurement management platform, has also been enhanced to includemodern slavery criteria and continues to be implemented throughout our business. Where a potential risk of modern slavery is identified, we discuss the issue with the tenderer to determine the appropriate actions and agree on potential mechanisms to monitor those actions until both parties agree that the risk of modern slavery will be appropriatelymitigated. Contractual Obligations McConnell Dowell recognises that modern slavery clauses may operate to ensure that suppliers and subcontractors respond tomodern slavery risks within their operations and provide an opportunity to initiate dialogue and engagement with our supply chain where there is amaterial breach of contract. During the reporting periodwe have addressed approaches to embedding enforceablemodern slavery clauses in our supplier contracts to articulate our human rights expectations and control the potential risk of modern slavery arising in our supply chain. Labour Hire Supplier Engagement In Australia we engagedwith all members of our labour hire panel throughout the course of FY21 to understand their approach tomodern slavery and ensure that they are aware of the potential for being targeted by traffickers. During the reporting periodwe also developed and implemented a list of screening questions for labour hire providers in South East Asia based on their workforce engagement model, including visa compliance, pay rates and overtime.
