Modern slavery is a criminal offence under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the “Act”). Modern slavery can occur in various forms, including servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
CassonX is and always has been committed to ensuring there is full transparency in our business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We ensure that we conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and we have evolved and updated our contracting processes to include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. We expect our suppliers to hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
All employees are required to familiarise themselves with these policies and procedures to help in the identification and prevention of modern slavery and to conduct business in a manner such that the opportunity for and incidence of modern slavery is prevented.
Adherence to our policy forms part of all employees’ obligations under their contract of employment. These policies are also set out in our Employee Handbook which our employees must review and sign before joining our business.
