We strongly oppose any form of modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, and exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our commitment to combatting modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.
Our Approach:
- Policy and Awareness: We have implemented a robust Modern Slavery Policy that sets out our zero-tolerance stance towards modern slavery.

We also conduct regular training sessions and awareness programs to ensure that all individuals associated with our organization understand their responsibilities and the importance of eradicating modern slavery.
- Supply Chain Due Diligence: We recognize the need to scrutinize our supply chains and work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices. We conduct thorough due diligence processes when engaging with new suppliers and review existing relationships to assess their compliance with anti-slavery standards.
- Supplier Code of Conduct: We maintain a Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines our expectations regarding human rights, labor practices, and ethical conduct. This code requires suppliers to adhere to applicable laws and regulations and prohibits the use of forced labor or any form of exploitation.
- Risk Assessment and Auditing: We conduct risk assessments to identify and evaluate potential risks of modern slavery within our supply chains. This includes assessing geographic locations, industries, and the nature of work involved. Additionally, we conduct regular audits of our suppliers to ensure compliance with our standards, including the prohibition of modern slavery.
- Reporting and Whistleblowing: We maintain a reporting mechanism that allows employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. We treat all reports seriously and take appropriate action to investigate and address any allegations. Confidentiality and protection against retaliation are assured for individuals who come forward with information.
- Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our efforts in combating modern slavery. We actively engage with industry initiatives, share best practices, and collaborate with stakeholders to drive positive change. We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to ensure their effectiveness and alignment with evolving legal and ethical standards.
- Collaboration and Transparency: We recognize that eradicating modern slavery requires collective action. We actively engage with industry associations, non-governmental organizations, and other relevant stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and collectively work towards combating modern slavery. We are committed to transparently reporting on our progress in our annual reports and other relevant communications.
