Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
How we're governed
We recognise the value of transparency around organisational governance, how businesses are led and managed, and how stakeholder considerations are reflected in decision making, and our Governance reflect that.
We align our work and our business with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 - Gender Equality, 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth and 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions which seek to end modern slavery and human trafficking. Our Ethical Conduct Policy and our Business Integrity Code of Practice act in support of this Policy.
