We believe in the fundamental right of every individual to live and work free from coercion, exploitation, and modern slavery. This statement outlines our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains.
Our Commitment
Modern slavery is a heinous crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, including slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking, all of which deprive individuals of their liberty and dignity. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and we strive to implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery does not occur within our organization or supply chains.

Code of Conduct: Our Code of Conduct sets out the standards and behaviors we expect from all our employees and business partners. It emphasizes our commitment to ethical business practices and respect for human rights.
Supplier Code of Conduct: We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to combating modern slavery. Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines the standards we expect our suppliers to adhere to, including the prohibition of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking.
Whistleblowing Policy: We encourage all employees, suppliers, and business partners to report any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Our Whistleblowing Policy provides a secure and confidential mechanism for reporting any unethical behavior or practices.

To identify and mitigate the risks of modern slavery, we have implemented the following due diligence processes:
Risk Assessments: We conduct regular risk assessments of our operations and supply chains to identify areas where there may be a higher risk of modern slavery.
Supplier Audits: We perform audits of our key suppliers to ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct and to verify that they are not engaging in any form of modern slavery or human trafficking.
Training and Awareness: We provide training to our employees on modern slavery and human trafficking, helping them to understand the signs and implications and empowering them to act if they suspect any unethical practices.
