Freedom of Association
We respect the right of our employees to exercise freedom of association and collective bargaining in accordance with local laws. As
at 31 March 2017, 349 Group employees are represented by labour unions or works councils. Our collective bargaining agreements
with these representative groups contain provisions covering grievance and discipline processes, paid time off, paid maternity leave
and collectively bargained severance and separation benefits. Other negotiated terms and conditions of employment contained in our
collective agreements include, among others, matters such as wages and performance management.
During the year, the Group did not experience any situations with the unions that resulted in work stoppage.

and we rigorously enforce these principle at all our places of work.
Each employee’s profile and identity document is maintained in
our HR data system and we continuously monitor compliance
with the minimum legal working age requirements enforced
by the local authorities in the countries where we operate our
businesses. All employees work on their own free will and without
coercion. During the year, there has been no incidence of child or
forced labour in the Group.
