Modern Slavery Statement
We do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in our organisation or in our supply chain. This statement sets out the steps that we have taken to eliminate, as far as possible, the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking taking place.
OUR POLICIES ON MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to eliminate, as far as possible, the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.
OUR INITIATIVE FOR MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
As part of our initiative to identify and mitigate the risk of human slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains, we conducted a review of suppliers across supply chains and we determined that we are in a low risk industry characterised by low volume high value work activity.
While we are confident that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking taking place within our direct organisation following this assessment we have also implemented systems to identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains so no new supplier will be appointed without them going through our risk assessment.
SUPPLIER ADHERENCE TO OUR VALUES AND ETHICS
We do not tolerate modern slavery and human trafficking. We have put in place a new supplier process which will both assess the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in any new supplier and its own supply chains before we engage with that supplier and give us the ability to monitor and audit suppliers once they have been engaged.
TRAINING
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and in our supply chains, we will be asking our business partners to provide training to their staff and suppliers.
“This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our group’s modern slavery and human trafficking statement.”
