Description
It is widely acknowledged that thec onstruction industry is a high risk sectorfor modern slavery andhuman trafficking, largely due to the demographics of the temporary labour workforce and complex supply chains.We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slaveryand human trafficking and we are committedto acting ethically, transparently and with high integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We aim to achieve this commitment by implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls designed to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within ourbusiness or in any of oursupply chains and by adhering to our obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business associates and we expect them to hold the businesses within their own supply chainsto the same high standards.
