Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Statement

Introduction
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place.

Our Business
We operate within the [engineering/construction/property] sector and deliver services across the UK. While we believe the risk of modern slavery in our direct operations is low, we recognise the potential for risks in our extended supply chains, particularly in areas such as labour provision, subcontracted works, and manufacturing of materials.

Our Commitments

  • We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced labour, or human trafficking.

  • We ensure compliance with the Modern Slavery Act throughout our operations.

  • We expect the same high standards from our contractors, suppliers, and business partners.

Due Diligence Processes
To prevent slavery and human trafficking, we have implemented the following measures:

  • Vetting of key suppliers and subcontractors for their compliance with ethical labour practices.

  • Inclusion of anti-slavery clauses in our standard supplier contracts.

  • Monitoring of high-risk suppliers and service providers.

  • Encouraging the reporting of concerns via a confidential whistleblowing process.

Training and Awareness
Relevant staff are made aware of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking, particularly in procurement and project delivery roles. We also encourage our team to remain vigilant and report any suspicions of unethical behavior.

Ongoing Review
We review this policy annually and update our procedures to reflect changes in legislation and best practice. We are committed to continuous improvement in this area.

Approval
This statement has been approved by the company’s senior management and is reviewed annually.
