Modern Day Slavery Policy

This statement is made by Eceni OU in accordance with the requirements of section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Transparency in Supply Chains) Regulations 2015.

 

1.     In this statement, when we refer to ‘slavery and human trafficking,’ this includes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking, as each of these terms is explained or defined in the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

 

2.     In this statement, an ‘Eceni OU supplier’ means a third-party supplier with whom Eceni OU has a direct and enduring contractual relationship through our procurement function.

 

As a professional services provider, Eceni OU does not operate in an industry where modern slavery is prevalent. However, Eceni OU expects all our people to treat each other, and those we deal with, respectfully and with dignity. We do not tolerate physical violence, threats, corporal punishment, mental coercion, verbal abuse, disrespectful behaviour, bullying or harassment of any kind.

 

We actively encourage our people to raise ethical and legal concerns, including any concerns about human rights issues, and we make multiple channels available for them to do so—including anonymously. We also stress that we have zero tolerance for retaliation against anyone who speaks up in good faith.

 

Eceni OU investigates any potential human rights breach it becomes aware of and seeks to appropriately remedy or mitigate those breaches. We continue to review our human rights efforts, as well as best practices in the marketplace, to understand how we can further strengthen our commitment to ensure slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our organisation or our supply chains.
