Exploitation of Workers Statement
Updated: 12th August 2024
There is an obligation under the Modern Slavery Act (2015) for businesses to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking, and to commit to the prohibition and avoidance of the violation of human rights (not only within the business’s own operations but also in relation to those with which the business provides products and services).
- Electricity Solutions Ltd is forthright and steadfast in complying with these obligations and fully embraces not only the legal aspects of these issues, but also the moral and ethical duties and responsibilities in identifying and, where necessary, eliminating potential breaches of basic human rights.
- It is therefore the policy of Electricity Solutions Ltd that practices such as forced labour, debt-bonded labour, and human trafficking are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
- Similarly, inhumane treatment such as corporal punishment or other inhumane threats are also viewed as totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
- Furthermore, we expect corresponding standards, duties, and responsibilities to be upheld and maintained by all our employees, clients, customers, sub-contractors, business associates and visitors.
- Through our existing policies and procedures, we will always seek to promote the highest moral standards, and will voluntarily and wholeheartedly support all statutory legislation or regulatory guidelines aimed at eliminating these totally unacceptable and inhumane practices.
- We encourage all those involved with our organisation and services, whether directly or indirectly, to report (without fear of prejudice or recrimination) any issues or concerns relating to the potential breaches of human rights.
- This policy statement operates in conjunction with, and alongside our other Company policies including (but no exclusively) Equality and Diversity; Measurements to Prevent Harassment and Bullying; Conduct at Work, Conduct Outside Work; Anti-Bribery; Criminal Activities; Whistleblowing and Protected Disclosures; and the duly of Fidelity.
