Our Commitment
Zero Tolerance: We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. We expect the same commitment from our suppliers, contractors, and business partners.
Risk Assessment: We regularly assess the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. This includes evaluating our suppliers’ practices and conducting due diligence.
Supplier Engagement: We engage with our suppliers to ensure they share our commitment to ethical practices. We encourage transparency and collaboration to address any identified risks.
Training and Awareness: We provide training to our employees and relevant stakeholders to raise awareness about modern slavery and equip them with the knowledge to identify and report potential issues.

Our Supply Chain
Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct due diligence on our suppliers to assess their compliance with anti-slavery laws. This includes reviewing their policies, practices, and risk management processes.
Supplier Audits: We are committed to perform regular audits of high-risk suppliers to verify compliance with our standards. Corrective actions are taken when necessary.
Contractual Obligations: Our supplier contracts include clauses that explicitly prohibit modern slavery and require adherence to applicable laws.
