We strive to maintain the highest possible standards of conduct and ethical behaviour within our operation and supply chain procedures at all times.

Recruitment/Agency Operatives

On the occasions that we require the assistance of external operatives through employment and labour agencies to assist us in the delivery of our services for our clients, then we only engage with specified, reputable employment agencies to source the required labour and we always verify the practices of any new agencies we engage with before accepting workers from that agency.

Business Partners Code Of Conduct

We are committed to ensuring that our business partners adhere to the highest standards of ethics at all times, by requiring them to act in accordance with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, or any similar laws in the countries that they carry out their business operations in.

We also work with our business partners to ensure that they are meeting the required standards of our code of conduct by ensuring that they improve their employee's working environment as well as their health and safety practices with the utmost urgency, as well as their human rights needs been to an international standard.
