3. Our Policies

To safeguard against modern slavery risks, we have implemented the following internal policies and procedures:

· Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy – outlines our zero-tolerance approach and expectations for all staff and partners.

· Supplier Code of Conduct – communicates our standards on labour, safety, wages, discrimination, and ethical sourcing.

All policies are governed by our Senior Management Team and reviewed annually.

4. Due Diligence and Risk Management

We carry out due diligence on all suppliers and business partners to assess and address modern slavery risks. This includes:

• Risk-based assessments prior to engagement

• Ongoing supplier reviews and contract audits

• Verification that recruitment agencies and subcontractors follow ethical employment practices

• Monitoring of supply chains in higher-risk regions or sectors

We also ensure all new employees undergo right-to-work checks and that our partners conduct similar checks on their own staff.

​

5. Training and Awareness

All new employees receive training on modern slavery risks as part of our onboarding process. Additional, targeted training is provided to staff involved in procurement, recruitment, or contract management.

We promote awareness of modern slavery throughout our organisation to ensure that all employees understand the signs of exploitation and how to report concerns.

 

6. Monitoring and Performance Indicators

To measure the effectiveness of our actions, we use the following performance indicators:

• Number of staff trained on modern slavery

• Percentage of suppliers assessed for modern slavery risk

• Audit findings and remedial actions implemented

• Incidents reported or investigated

No instances of modern slavery were identified in our operations or supply chains in the reporting year.

 

7. Looking Ahead
