Our Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our business or our business partners. The aim of the Company is to identify our responsibility by alerting staff to the risks, however small, in our business and the wider construction industry. Staff are encouraged to report concerns to management, where they are expected to act upon them.
Our anti slavery policy reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.
