Policies
We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner.
These include the following:
-
Recruitment and selection policy – Our recruitment and selection policy prevents modern slavery by enforcing strict, transparent hiring practices. It ensures all candidates have a legal right to work, prevents forced or bonded labour by prohibiting worker-paid recruitment fees, and establishes robust background vetting to detect exploitation.
-
Supplier code of conduct – Our Supplier Code of Conduct prevents modern slavery by legally and ethically binding third-party vendors to strict labour standards. It eliminates forced labour through zero-tolerance policies, regular audits, and stringent enforcement.
-
Staff code of conduct – Our staff code of conduct prevents modern slavery by establishing strict, zero-tolerance ethical standards for the workforce. It mandates fair, voluntary employment and regular pay, enforces rigorous human rights due diligence, and empowers employees to safely report suspected exploitation without fear of retaliation.
-
Procurement policy – Our procurement policy prevents modern slavery by embedding zero-tolerance rules, risk-based due diligence, and mandatory compliance clauses throughout the commercial lifecycle. The policies strictly mandate the exclusion of non-compliant suppliers, cascading these critical ethical standards down to all subcontractors and third-party vendors
-
Modern Slavery Policy – The Modern Slavery Policy prevents exploitation by consolidating criminal offenses, requiring corporate transparency in supply chains, and utilising the National Referral Mechanism to protect and support vulnerable victims.
We make sure our suppliers are aware of our policies and adhere to the same standards.
Due Diligence
As part of our efforts to monitor and reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains, we have adopted the following due diligence procedures:
-
Internal supplier audits.
-
External supplier audits.
Our due diligence procedures aim to:
-
Identify and action potential risks in our business and supply chains.
-
Monitor potential risks in our business and supply chains.
-
Engage with workers and suppliers.
-
Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains.
Risk and Compliance
The Company has evaluated the nature and extent of its exposure to the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in its UK supply chain through:
-
Evaluating the slavery and human trafficking risks of each new supplier.
-
Reviewing on a regular basis all aspects of the supply chain based on supply chain mapping.
We do not consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because The majority of our supply chain is based in the UK and Europe and is supplying equipment for medical use so is highly regulated.
We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains. Where there is evidence of failure to comply with our policies and procedures by any of our suppliers, we will require that supplier to remedy the non-compliance.
Effectiveness
The Company uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure its effectiveness and ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in its business and supply chains. These KPIs are as follows:
-
We will contact suppliers to enquire about their modern slavery practices every 24 months.
-
We will train our staff about modern slavery issues and increase awareness within the Company.
-
We will carry out a regular audit of suppliers – 10% of suppliers each year.
Training Staff
The Company requires its staff to complete training and ongoing refresher courses on slavery and human trafficking. The Company’s training covers:
-
How to identify the signs of slavery and human trafficking.
-
What initial steps should be taken if slavery or human trafficking is suspected.
-
How to escalate potential slavery or human trafficking issues to the relevant parties within the Company.
-
What external help is available.
-
What steps the Company should take if suppliers in its supply chain do not implement anti-slavery policies in high-risk scenarios, including their removal from the Company’s supply chain.
