Our Modern Slavery Policy has been put in place by our parent company, LHi Group and is effective from 16/01/2024 (16th January 2024).
LHi Group Ltd and its subsidiaries (“We”) are dedicated to making a difference through how we conduct our business. Accordingly, we have enacted this policy to ensure that our business never involves, supports, or tolerates any form of modern slavery or human trafficking.
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 involve people being deprived of their liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. This is why we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our business, in our clients, and throughout our supply chain, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships.
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives, and business partners.
We review this policy on an annual basis.
We are dedicated to ensuring all goods and services purchased by and through our business are sourced from transparent, free-trade sources with positive records in terms of human rights and the prevention of modern slavery. Specifically, this includes (but isn’t limited to) our purchases of electronics like laptops and phones, our purchases of services from technology support and SaaS services, and our purchases of office supplies like coffee, food, desks & chairs, and other common office equipment.
The board of directors holds overall responsibility for ensuring that this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations and that all those under our control comply with it.
The Legal and Compliance team bears primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, addressing any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they effectively counter modern slavery.
Management at all levels are accountable for ensuring that their subordinates understand and comply with this policy and receive sufficient and regular training on it as well as on the issue of modern slavery in supply chains.
You are welcome to provide feedback on this policy and suggest improvements. Comments, suggestions, and queries are encouraged and should be directed to the Legal and Compliance team at ContractsTeam@wearelhi.com
Any employee who violates this policy will face disciplinary action, which may lead to termination for misconduct or gross misconduct.
We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any other individuals or organisations that violate this policy.
