COSWORTH’S SUPPLY CHAIN
Our supply chain primarily comprises businesses supplying materials and components used in the manufacture of our products, together with electronics manufacturing services. It also includes providers of temporary labour, marketing and communications, food and beverages, and other professional services.
Cosworth endeavours to build long-term relationships with favoured suppliers in order to encourage good practice and ethical behaviour. We maintain direct relationships with our suppliers and encourage open communication between Cosworth staff and supplier contacts.
We pride ourselves on developing close-knit relationships with our supply chain in order to provide the best products and solutions to our world-renowned clients, and to maintain our position as an ethical and responsible business.
Wherever practicable, we seek to limit sourcing from higher-risk locations. Where sourcing from such locations is necessary, we apply additional due diligence and, where appropriate, audit requirements.
DUE DILIGENCE
Cosworth is committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner. As part of our supplier onboarding and procurement processes, we undertake due diligence designed to identify and address risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain.
New suppliers are required to confirm compliance with applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking legislation and, where appropriate, provide evidence of their own policies, controls, and compliance arrangements. Modern slavery requirements are also incorporated into supplier contracts and terms of business. Existing suppliers are subject to ongoing review, and any concerns identified are escalated through the appropriate management channels for investigation and remediation.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Cosworth recognises that the risk of modern slavery can vary across industries, geographical locations, and supply chains. We adopt a risk-based approach to supplier management and seek, wherever practicable, to source goods and services from reputable suppliers that operate in accordance with our ethical standards.
Reviews are undertaken for new suppliers and may include consideration of factors such as geographical location, industry sector, labour practices and the nature of goods or services provided. Where an elevated risk is identified, additional checks may be conducted and appropriate mitigation measures implemented before a supplier is approved.
EFFECTIVENESS MONITORING
Cosworth continually reviews the effectiveness of its approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. The business monitors compliance through employee awareness training, contractual controls, and whistleblowing procedures.
To assess the effectiveness of these measures, Cosworth reviews a range of indicators, including:
The Company will continue to develop and strengthen these measures as part of its commitment to maintaining effective governance and responsible business practices.
INTERNAL PROCEDURES
We adopt a proactive policy of keeping employees informed of all matters affecting them as employees, and the factors that affect the performance of the Group.
This is achieved through consultation with employee representatives and group briefings.
We have taken measures to instil a business culture that encourages the reporting of concerns and safe treatment of those who come forward with concerns. We produce an internal employee handbook where such business values and cultures are documented. These measures include consultations with employee representatives and group briefings as mentioned above together with our grievance procedure and Whistleblowing Policy.
It is our intention to raise the awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking within the organisation and state our position on this matter to companies associated to our business. To ensure a detailed level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery in our supply chains and our business, modern slavery awareness forms part of employee induction and ongoing compliance training programmes.
Cosworth will continue to review its internal procedures to ensure that the company remains compliant with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and upholds our status as a trusted, transparent, and responsible employer.
