Modern Slavery Statement
Our position on preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
1. Introduction
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes forms including slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking. The Proactive Group Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in any part of its business or supply chains, and this statement sets out the steps we take to prevent it. While our size may fall below the statutory reporting threshold in section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we publish this statement voluntarily as a matter of good practice.
2. Our business and supply chains
We are a UK-based business consultancy. Our supply chain is short and professional in nature, consisting mainly of office premises, IT and software services, hosting, telecoms and professional services. We assess the risk of modern slavery within our own operations and this supply chain as low, but we do not treat low risk as no risk.
3. Our policies and practices
- All staff and contractors are engaged lawfully, paid at or above legal minimums, and free to leave their engagement in accordance with its terms.
- We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable laws, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and we take this into account when selecting and reviewing suppliers.
- Any concern about slavery or trafficking connected to our business or suppliers can be raised in confidence with a director, and will be investigated promptly. No one raising a genuine concern will suffer any detriment for doing so.
- Where a concern about a supplier were substantiated and not remedied, we would terminate the relationship.
4. Awareness
Those responsible for procurement within the firm are made aware of the indicators of modern slavery and of this statement's expectations.
5. Review
This statement is reviewed annually and approved at director level on behalf of The Proactive Group Limited.
