Modern slavery is a term used to encompass slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.  

Elait Ltd strictly prohibits the use of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We have and will continue to be committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation or in any of our supply chains. We expect our suppliers to hold their suppliers to the same high standards. 

We expect everyone working with us or on our behalf to support and uphold the following measures to safeguard against modern slavery: 

• We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation and our supply chains.  

• The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our organisation or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or on our behalf. Workers must not engage in, facilitate, or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.  

• We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and suppliers to address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain.  

• Consistent with our approach, we may require:  

• Employment and recruitment agencies, and other third parties supplying workers to our organisation, are to confirm their compliance with our Code of Conduct  

• Suppliers who engage workers through a third party must obtain the third party’s agreement to adhere to the Code.  

• As part of our ongoing risk assessment and due diligence processes, we will consider whether circumstances warrant us auditing suppliers for their compliance with our Code of Conduct.  

• If we find that other individuals or organisations working on our behalf have breached this policy, we will ensure that we take appropriate action.  This may range from considering the possibility of breaches being remediated and whether that might represent the best outcome for those individuals impacted by the breach to terminating such relationships.
