Involuntary Labour and Human rights

We acknowledge and comply with our legal obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and other relevant legislation. 

Treatment of employees

Employees all have clear and fair employment contracts with work hours clearly stated and which comply with employment laws. Employees may voluntarily choose to work more hours than contracted provided that they are not pressured to do so and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and standards related to maximum hours.
Employees are treated with dignity and respect, and we do not tolerate any form of verbal or other harassment, abuse or intimidation.
We operate a policy of non-discrimination in hiring and employment practices, terms and conditions, opportunities for advancement, and will not discriminate in sourcing on the basis of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, political opinion, disability, or any other category protected by law.

Health and Safety

We provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Care for the Environment

We will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and abide by the three principles on the environment that are set out in the United Nations Global Compact:
1) supporting a precautionary approach to environmental change;
2) undertaking initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and

We aim where possible to ensure that the resources and materials we use are sustainable, capable of being recycled, used effectively with a minimum of waste.

Anti-Corruption

We do not tolerate, permit or engage in bribery, embezzlement, extortion, kickbacks or other forms of corruption in dealings with any government official or employee or any individual in the private sector.
