At Zenith Orion, we are committed to ensuring that our business operations and supply chains are free from slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation. We uphold the highest ethical standards and expect our partners, suppliers, and contractors to do the same.

1. Policy Statement

We are dedicated to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain. We take a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to complying with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.

2. Our Commitment

  • We ensure that our staff, partners, and suppliers understand the importance of modern slavery and are aware of our commitment to combating it.
  • We require our suppliers to demonstrate that they are not involved in modern slavery practices and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
  • We conduct due diligence checks on our suppliers to ensure they meet our standards for ethical business practices.

3. Risk Assessment

We assess the risk of modern slavery occurring in our operations and supply chains. We aim to identify any areas where the risk may be higher, such as in industries with low wages, seasonal work, or vulnerable populations. We regularly review our supply chain to ensure compliance with our policy.

All employees are educated on the risks of modern slavery, how to spot potential issues, and how to report concerns. We provide training to ensure that our staff members understand their responsibilities in preventing modern slavery.

5. Reporting and Whistleblowing

Employees, contractors, and others working with us are encouraged to report any concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially via [Insert Reporting Channel]. We will ensure that any concerns raised are investigated thoroughly and without retaliation.

We expect our suppliers and partners to adhere to the same high standards. We will work with them to improve practices where necessary, and any failure to comply may result in the termination of our business relationship.

We regularly monitor our practices and ensure compliance with this policy. We conduct audits, review contracts, and engage with suppliers to ensure they meet the standards outlined in our Modern Slavery Policy.

8. Review of Policy

This policy is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness. We will update the policy as necessary to reflect changes in legislation, our operations, or supply chain.
