Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the Act)
Our organisation
We are an independent property technology business governed by strong core values and a keen sense of social responsibility. This page sets out our ongoing commitment as a responsible business to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
Our policies
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and we are committed to ensuring that it has no presence in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place.
Our internal policies and employment procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with the Act.
Due diligence processes
Our recruitment processes are transparent and reviewed regularly. We communicate directly with candidates to discuss job opportunities and to confirm the details of any offer made and work only with reputable recruitment businesses. We have robust procedures in place for the vetting of new employees and ensure that we are able to confirm their identities and that they are paid directly into an appropriate, personal bank account – no one earns less than the London Living Wage.
We review our suppliers on a regular basis and have committed to work with organisations who share our values.
We are conscious that imported products or services sourced from outside the UK or EU are potentially more at risk of slavery or human trafficking issues. If products have to be sourced from such locations, we will look to those suppliers who can demonstrate a commitment to human rights and fair working conditions.
We will not work with any supplier organisation that has been found to have been knowingly involved in either human trafficking or modern slavery.
Training
To ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and our business, we provide training to relevant staff as part of their induction and provide refresher training as appropriate.
Our effectiveness in combating slavery and human trafficking
We will continue to monitor and review our policies relating to slavery and human trafficking. If we become aware of any breaches, we will investigate and take such steps as are necessary to ensure that the risk of further breaches occurring is minimised.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Act and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking statement.
