4. Supply Chains
We expect our suppliers and contractors to uphold the same high standards. We work only with reputable suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to ethical practices and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Assess the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains and operations.
-
Communicate our expectations clearly to suppliers and partners.
-
Reserve the right to terminate our relationship with suppliers who fail to comply with this policy.
6. Training and Awareness
We aim to ensure that relevant staff members are aware of the risks of modern slavery and are trained to identify signs of exploitation. We encourage openness and support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith.
7. Reporting Concerns
Employees, suppliers, and business partners are encouraged to report any concerns about modern slavery related to our business activities.
All concerns should be reported confidentially to:
Sam De Conto
