Definitions

“Anti-Slavery Laws”: means laws relating to countering slavery, servitude and human trafficking in all the jurisdictions in which You and/or We operate and includes (without limitation) the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (as amended) and all statutory instruments related to the same.

Overview

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all Our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in Our own business or in any of Our supply chains.

We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in Our own business and in Our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout Our supply chains.  We expect the same high standards from all of all of Our contractors, suppliers and other business partners and those who supply services to our clients; We have therefore prepared this policy.

This policy may be updated by Us from time to time at Our absolute discretion.
