Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and 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. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.
The Directors of Allen Associates believe that driving out slavery in any form from its supply chains is fundamental and central to the aims and values of the business.
This statement and our modern slavery policy will be reviewed annually, unless there is a requirement to review it more frequently.
