This excerpt taken from the ICI 6-K filed Mar 21, 2007. ICIs supply chain Product stewardship and supply chain improvements are an integral part of Sustainability Challenge 2010. In 2006 a revised annual product stewardship assessment was carried out by all business units, in order to monitor progress and target areas for further improvements. Quest made good progress in piloting a supplier assessment process which includes social and labour practices issues as well as product stewardship and health, safety and environmental issues. During the year, it came to light that one of our small volume suppliers in Brazil was employing child labour, although they denied this. Following investigation we ceased trading with them and have worked with local NGOs to strengthen our assessment and engagement processes.
