Modern Slavery Policy

We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation have no place in our business or supply chain.

 

This statement is published in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery within our operations.

 

Our Commitment

We operate with integrity and expect all colleagues, partners and suppliers to uphold the highest ethical standards. We do not tolerate any form of:

  • Forced, bonded or involuntary labour
  • Human trafficking
  • Child exploitation
  • Degrading or unsafe working conditions
  • Recruitment practices that result in debt bondage

 

Our Business and Supply Chain

We ensure that any organisation we work with shares our commitment to protecting workers and respecting human rights.

 

Policies and Procedures

To support our commitment, we have implemented:

  • Ethical supply chain controls and due-diligence checks
  • Clear standards for subcontractors and suppliers
  • A Whistleblowing Policy allowing concerns to be raised confidentially
  • Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policies
  • Recruitment practices that protect workers from exploitation
  • Ongoing review of risks related to modern slavery

 

Supplier Expectations

We expect suppliers and subcontractors to:

  • Comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
  • Uphold fair working practices
  • Provide safe working conditions
  • Prevent exploitation and unethical labour practices
  • Maintain suitable policies and provide evidence on request
  • We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who do not meet these standards.

 

Training and Awareness

We raise awareness among colleagues and managers so they can recognise and report any concerns relating to modern slavery.

 

Reporting Concerns

Any colleague, supplier or third party can raise a concern about potential modern slavery or unethical behaviour. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly.
