Modern Slavery

1. Introduction: Statement Against Modern Slavery At Jedi Sales Consultants Ltd, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in all areas of our business. We strongly oppose modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and any form of exploitation. We recognise that these heinous crimes exist in global supply chains, and we are committed to taking proactive measures to combat these issues in our operations and supply chains.

2. Company Commitment We, at Jedi Sales Consultants Ltd, are fully committed to the eradication of modern slavery and human trafficking. We comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensure transparency in our business operations, including our supply chains. Our aim is to foster an environment that values human dignity and respect for human rights.

We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. We will not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in any form, and we are committed to continuously improving our practices to ensure that these risks are effectively identified and addressed.

 

3. Risk Assessment We conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential areas of vulnerability within our operations and supply chains. This involves:

  • Evaluating suppliers, contractors, and business partners based on their geographical location, industry sector, and the nature of their operations.
  • Assessing whether high-risk areas, particularly those with a history of labour abuses, are part of our supply chains.
  • Implementing monitoring processes to track any emerging risks related to modern slavery and human trafficking.

If any risks are identified, we take immediate steps to mitigate them by working directly with the relevant parties to address concerns or, where necessary, discontinuing relationships with suppliers that fail to meet our ethical standards.

 

4. Due Diligence: Ensuring Compliance in Operations and Supply Chains To prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, we implement strict due diligence procedures, including:

  • Conducting background checks on suppliers and contractors before engaging in business relationships.
  • Requiring contractual commitments from suppliers to uphold ethical labour practices.
  • Auditing suppliers periodically to assess compliance with our anti-slavery policies.
  • Engaging with stakeholders, industry bodies, and regulatory authorities to ensure best practices are followed.

 

5. Employee Training and Awareness All employees, especially those involved in procurement and supplier management, receive training on modern slavery risks and how to identify and report any suspicious activity. This training covers:

  • Recognising signs of modern slavery and human trafficking.
  • Reporting mechanisms to escalate concerns.
  • Understanding the implications of non-compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

 

6. Reporting and Escalation Process Jedi Sales Consultants Ltd encourages employees, suppliers, and third parties to report any concerns related to modern slavery. Reports can be made through:

  • A dedicated internal reporting channel.
  • Confidential whistleblowing procedures.
  • Direct communication with management.

All reports will be investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action will be taken to address any verified issues.

 

7. Continuous Improvement and Review To ensure the effectiveness of our modern slavery prevention efforts, we will:

  • Regularly review and update our policies to reflect best practices and legal requirements.
  • Strengthen supply chain monitoring to identify and mitigate risks effectively.
  • Engage with external organisations and initiatives that promote ethical labour practices.
  • Solicit feedback from employees and partners to enhance our approach to tackling modern slavery.
