Anti Modern Slavery Policy

1.            Our risk areas

The key risk areas identified are related to Employees & Suppliers. But all risk is mitigated as follow:

• HR: We have processes in place to ensure that all our employees receive a fair legal compensation, which in most of the cases is well above industry
• We have recruiting process in place to ensure security clearance, vetting and all relevant industry requirements are met.
• We do not sub-contract unless required by our clients, and wen we do so we ensure that we deal directly with the end contractor, not working with any intermediary to avoid any risk.

2.            Our policies

We operate several internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include, among others:

1. Anti-slavery policy. This policy sets out the organisation’s stance on modern slavery and explains how employees can identify any instances of this and where they can go for help.
2. Recruitment policy. We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility to work in the UK checks for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
3. Whistleblowing policy. We operate a whistleblowing policy so that all employees know that they can raise concerns about how colleagues are being treated, or practices within our business or supply chain, without fear of reprisals.
4. Code of business conduct. This code explains the manner in which we behave as an organisation and how we expect our employees and suppliers to act.]

3.            Our suppliers

May Business Consulting Ltd. operates a supplier policy and maintains a limited and reduced supplier list.  We conduct due diligence on all suppliers before allowing them to become supplier.  This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that particular organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery.  Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our contract with all suppliers and they are required to confirm that no part of their business operations contradicts this policy.

In addition to the above, as part of our contract with suppliers, we require that they confirm to us that:

1. They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business
2. They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery
3. pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate)
4. They pay their employees any prevailing minimum wage applicable within their country of operations
5. We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light

4.            Training

We communicate conduct training for our internal staff specifically to HR and procurement/buying teams so that they understand the signs of modern slavery and what to do if they suspect that it is taking place within our supply chain. To this date no reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
