British Caribbean Ltd is committed to driving out acts of forced labour and human trafficking within its business and that from within its supply chains, including subcontractors, and partners.
The policies we have in place and this anti-forced labour statement, reflect our commitment to: • Paying people fairly and properly for their work. • Acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. • Enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure forced labour and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.
The Company acknowledges responsibility to the Forced labour Act 2015 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with suppliers of goods and services to the organisation.
Employees All employees who join us are subject to checks to ensure they are genuine applicants operating as free agents with the required level of propriety. These will include verification of identity, references, evidence of qualifications, and may include criminal and financial checks.
Suppliers / Subcontractors We operate a supplier/subcontractor verification process. We give all suppliers/ subcontractors a copy of our anti-forced labour statement, request and review a copy of their statement, as well as undertaking a number of due diligence checks on them.
As part of the company’s due diligence processes into forced labour and human trafficking, the supplier/subcontractor approval process incorporates a review of the controls undertaken by the supplier/subcontractor.
Imported goods and services from sources from outside the UK and EU are potentially more at risk for forced labour/human trafficking issues. The level of management control required for these sources will be continually monitored.
For suppliers/subcontractors where there is deemed to be an additional risk of forced labour or human trafficking, supplementary checks are completed. The Company will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in forced labour or human trafficking.
The Company Directors and senior management shall take responsibility for implementing this policy statement and its objectives and shall provide adequate resources (training, etc) and investment to ensure that forced labour and human trafficking is not taking place within the organisation and within its supply chains. The implementation and operation of this management system underlines our commitment to this policy.
