Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy

This policy is subject to annual review.

Policy Statement

‘Modern slavery’ is a term that describes anyone who is forced to work, owned by an employer, bought and sold or physically constrained. ‘Human trafficking’ describes the practice of transporting someone from one area or country to another. We firmly reject any involvement in such practices within our operations and supply chains. We continue to monitor that modern slavery is not taking place in our organisation.
