Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
At NSN, we are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and ensure that our operations are conducted ethically and transparently. This statement outlines the steps we have taken to combat modern slavery in line with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We work closely with partners, suppliers, and vendors to deliver high-quality services to our clients across various industries.
Our Policies
We have established policies to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our business or supply chain.
These include:
- Ethical Code of Conduct: We expect our employees, contractors, and suppliers to adhere to high ethical standards and comply with all applicable laws, including anti-slavery regulations.
- Vendor Selection: Our due diligence process ensures that we engage with suppliers who uphold the same commitment to combating modern slavery. We evaluate new suppliers on their policies and practices related to labour rights and ethical conduct.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
Given our current business size and structure, we recognise that our risk of modern slavery is relatively low. However, we take a proactive approach by:
- Conducting due diligence on suppliers to assess their compliance with anti-slavery practices.
- Monitoring and reviewing our supply chain to identify and address any potential risks.
Training and Awareness
We are committed to raising awareness among our employees about modern slavery and human trafficking. We provide regular updates on our anti-slavery policy and encourage our team to report any concerns related to unethical practices.
Continuous Improvement
As NSN grows, we will continue to refine our processes to ensure our policies remain effective. We are dedicated to staying informed about global developments in modern slavery prevention and improving our practices accordingly.
Conclusion
NSN maintains a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We will continue to work diligently to prevent exploitation in our business and supply chain.
This statement will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary.
