Definitions

The Organisation considers that modern slavery encompasses:

• human trafficking
• forced work, through mental or physical threat
• being owned or controlled by an employer through mental or physical abuse or threat of abuse
• being dehumanised, treated as a commodity or being bought or sold as property
• being physically constrained or to have restriction placed on freedom of movement.

Commitment

The Organisation acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The Organisation understands that this requires an ongoing review of both its internal practices in relation to its labour force and, additionally, its supply chains.

The Organisation does not enter into business with any other organisation, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced compulsory labour.

No labour provided to the Organisation in the persuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by the means of slavery or human trafficking. The Organisation strictly adheres to the minimum standards required in relation to its responsibilities under relevant employment legislation in Great Britain

Supply Chains

In order to fulfil its ativities, the main supply chains of the Organisation include those related to Medical Devices for the emergency decontamination of chemical splashes, and washing agents and absorbents for the decontamination of chemical spills, from various suppliers in France and in Great Britain. We understand that the Organsation's first-tier suppliers are intermediary traders and therefore have contractual relationships with lower-tier suppliers.

Potential exposure

In general, the Organisation considers it exposure to slavery/human trafficking to be relatively limited. Nonetheless, it has taken steps to ensure that such practices do not take place in the business nor the business of any organisation that supplies goods/services to it.

Steps

The Organisation has not, to its knowledge, conducted any business with another organisation which has been found to have involved itself with modern slavery.
