   1. To help identify and monitor the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain have implemented the following measures:
      1. Policy: We have a strict policy that prohibits any form of forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This policy is communicated to all employees, suppliers, and partners, and we ensure that they understand their responsibilities to comply with this policy.
      2. Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence where on our suppliers and partners to ensure that they are not involved in any form of human trafficking or forced labour.
      3. Training: We provide training to our employees, suppliers, and partners to raise awareness of the risks of human trafficking and forced labour, and to ensure that they know how to identify and report any incidents of suspected trafficking or forced labour.
      4. Reporting: We have established a reporting mechanism for any concerns or complaints related to human trafficking or forced labour. We investigate all reported incidents and take appropriate action to address any violations.
      5. Collaboration: We collaborate with industry groups and non-governmental organisations to share best practices and resources, and to promote awareness of human trafficking and forced labour.
   2. We are committed to continuously reviewing and improving our policies and practices to prevent and address any instances of human trafficking and forced labour. At TCA, we believe that everyone has the right to freedom and dignity, and we will continue to work towards a world where these basic human rights are respected and upheld.
