Our Policies

We have implemented the following policies to combat modern slavery:

Risk Assessment

We recognise that certain sectors and geographical areas present a higher risk of modern slavery. We pay particular attention to our international supply chains, especially in regions where labour rights protections may be weaker. We work closely with suppliers to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for workers' rights throughout our supply chain.

Training and Awareness

We provide training to our staff and partners on the risks of modern slavery and how to identify and report concerns. All team members are encouraged to report any suspicions, and we maintain a confidential whistleblowing system.

Monitoring and Review

This statement is reviewed annually and updated as necessary. We continuously monitor our supply chains and take immediate action if any concerns are identified.
