1. APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to 2bm Limited.
2. PURPOSE
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking (“Modern Slavery”) – all of which share in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. Keysource is committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that Modern Slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.
We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our approach to tackling Modern Slavery throughout our supply chains – consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude.
We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
This policy applies to all those working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, supplier, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment, and we may amend it at any time.
