Introduction
At Electric-Golf.co.uk, we hold a deep-seated commitment to acting ethically and responsibly in all our business dealings. Central to this commitment is our approach to tackling modern slavery, a despicable practice that has no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement outlines our policies and actions designed to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
Policy Statement
Definition of Modern Human Slavery
Modern Human Slavery encompasses various forms of exploitation, including forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, servitude, and debt bondage. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in various forms and in any part of the world, including in sectors that may initially appear low-risk.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations
Electric-Golf.co.uk is committed to upholding and complying with all relevant laws, regulations, and standards related to the prevention of modern slavery, including the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that our operations and business relationships are compliant with these legal obligations.
Supplier and Contractor Due Diligence
Our suppliers and contractors play an essential role in our efforts against modern slavery. We expect all our business partners to uphold the same high ethical standards we follow. We implement rigorous due diligence processes to assess and monitor all our suppliers and contractors. Any partner found to be involved in any form of modern slavery will face immediate termination of our business relationship.
Employee Awareness and Training
To ensure the effective implementation of this policy, we will provide regular training and awareness programs to our staff. We will ensure that our employees can recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand their role in preventing it.
Reporting and Whistleblowing
We encourage all staff members, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery within our business operations or supply chain. We have implemented a confidential whistleblowing procedure for safely and anonymously reporting such concerns, assuring no reprisals for individuals making the reports.
Investigations and Remediation
Any reports or indications of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain will be thoroughly investigated. If any involvement in modern slavery is discovered, we will take immediate and appropriate action to remediate the situation, up to and including termination of employment or business relationships.
Continuous Improvement
We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is ongoing and requires constant vigilance. We will continually review and refine our policies, procedures, and controls to ensure they remain effective and appropriate for combating this serious issue.
Conclusion
At Electric-Golf.co.uk, we take pride in holding ourselves to the highest ethical standards and see the fight against modern slavery as a core element of our corporate responsibility. We remain dedicated to promoting transparency and integrity in all aspects of our operations, assuring our customers, employees, and partners that we are doing our part in the global effort to eradicate modern slavery.
