Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
1. Our Commitment
We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. We believe in doing things properly, treating people fairly, and operating with integrity at all times.
Modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitation. We have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery.
2. About Our Business
We provide mechanical, electrical, and maintenance services to commercial clients. Our work involves both in-house engineers and a small number of trusted, vetted subcontractors.
Because we operate in environments where multiple contractors and supply chains overlap, we recognise the importance of maintaining clear standards and accountability across all partners we work with.
3. Our Approach
We aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery through simple, practical actions:
- Working primarily with our own directly employed engineers
- Carefully selecting and vetting any subcontractors we use
- Building long-term relationships with trusted suppliers
- Avoiding complex, layered supply chains where oversight is lost
We believe that keeping control of who does the work — and how it’s done — is key to maintaining high standards and protecting people.
4. Supplier Expectations
We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to:
- Comply with all applicable laws relating to modern slavery and employment
- Treat workers fairly, with respect and dignity
- Provide safe working conditions
- Pay fair wages and ensure no forced or involuntary labour is used
- Be transparent about their own supply chains if requested
We reserve the right to stop working with any supplier who does not meet these standards.
5. Identifying and Managing Risk
While the risk of modern slavery in our direct workforce is low, we remain alert to potential risks within our wider supply chain.
We look out for warning signs such as:
- Unusually low pricing that may indicate unfair labour practices
- Lack of transparency around workforce or subcontracting
- Poor working conditions or unsafe practices
- Workers who appear unable to speak freely or lack proper documentation
If concerns are identified, we will investigate and take appropriate action.
6. Responsibility
Responsibility for this policy sits with company leadership, who are committed to ensuring it is understood and followed throughout the business.
All employees are expected to:
- Act with integrity in their day-to-day work
- Raise concerns if something doesn’t feel right
- Support a culture where people are treated fairly and respectfully
7. Reporting Concerns
Any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices should be reported as soon as possible.
Reports will be taken seriously, handled confidentially, and investigated appropriately. We are committed to ensuring that no one suffers any negative consequences for raising a genuine concern.
8. Ongoing Review
We will review this policy regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective. As our business grows, we will continue to strengthen our processes and expectations to reduce risk and uphold high standards.
9. Approval
This policy is approved by company leadership and reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical, responsible business practices.
