"Our Approach

SIEL’s approach is designed to reflect its zero tolerance of slavery and/or human trafficking, in all its different forms, in any parts of its business or supply chain. SIEL’s approach also reflects a commitment to act ethically and responsibly in all its business relationships. As such, SIEL will not, knowingly support, or do business with, any organisation involved in slavery and/or human trafficking.

SIEL’s approach is underpinned by its Modern Slavery Act Policy and a corporate policy on procurement and outsourcing which requires our business to assess the social, ethical and equality impact of existing, as well as new business relationships. Our approach is also supported by other corporate policies, such as: Health & Safety, Environmental, Complaints Procedures and Non-Retaliation, Bribery, and a wide range of Human Resources policies. Moreover, SIEL is committed to upholding the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, as well as the 2018 Principles to Guide Government Action to Combat Human Trafficking in Global Supply Chains. SIEL also seeks to abide by the core labour standards set out by the International Labour Organisation.

To tackle slavery and human trafficking, SIEL:

(a) Identifies, monitors and assesses categories of third party vendors most at risk from slavery and/or human trafficking;

(b) Incorporates anti-slavery and human trafficking obligations into procurement agreements and sub-contracting arrangements, as appropriate and on a risk assessed basis;

(c) Includes appropriate measures in its due diligence processes for all its vendors and outsourced relationships (irrespective of whether they meet the requirements under s. 54 of the Act);

(d) Will set up a programme of training for relevant employees to ensure that there is a high-level understanding of the risks of slavery and human trafficking; and

(e) Maintains whistleblowing arrangements. SIEL also adheres to the responsible business practices prescribed in the company’s Code of Conduct."
