Anti-Slavery Policy

Anti-Slavery Policy

ANTI-SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that current Government guidelines are followed and to reinforce that slavery and human trafficking is completely prohibited within Thomas Graham & Sons Ltd. The company endeavours to ensure this by getting the commitment from our supply chain, via a rolling program of confirmation letters from our key suppliers.

The company also implements systems and checking procedures to ensure that this is achieved. The HR department carries out identification and ‘Right to Work’ document checks as standard procedure on employment of any individual.

This policy sets out the expectation that our customers and suppliers uphold the same standards that Thomas Graham & Sons Ltd abides by.
