ANTI-SLAVERY POLICY STATEMENT
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such
as slavery, servitude forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in
common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or
commercial gain.
The Company (known as Ei Security) has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are
committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to
implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking
place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.
We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to
tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations
under the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business
partners, and as part of our contracting processes, in the coming year we will include specific
prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or
servitude, whether adults or children, and we expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers
to the same high standards.
This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees
at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents,
contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.
This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and we may amend it at
any time.
Responsibility for the policy
The Company has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical
obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.
The Company has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its
use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and
procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.
Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and
comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on it and the issue of modern
slavery in supply chains.
You are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it might be improved.
Comments, suggestions and queries are encouraged and should be addressed to the Managing Director (jake.clark@eisecurity.co.uk).
Compliance with the policy
You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.
The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply
chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control.
You are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.
You must notify your line manager OR a company Director as soon as possible if you believe or
suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future.
You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of
our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage.
If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred or that it may occur, you must notify
your line manager or company Director immediately.
You should note that where appropriate, and with the welfare and safety of local workers as a
priority, we will give support and guidance to our suppliers to help them address coercive, abusive
and exploitative work practices in their own business and supply chains.
If you are unsure about whether a particular act, the treatment of workers more generally, or their
working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitute any of the various forms of
modern slavery, raise it with your line manager or company Director.
We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith
under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers
any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery
of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply
chains.
Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable
treatment connected with raising a concern.
If you believe that you have suffered any such treatment, you should inform your line manager
immediately. If the matter is not remedied, and you are an employee, you should raise it formally
using our Grievance Procedure, which can be found in the current employee handbook.
This Modern (Anti) Slavery Policy and Statement is intended for businesses in all countries, especially
the United Kingdom.
Communication & awareness of this policy
Training on this policy, and on the risk, our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains,
forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us and updates will be provided
using established methods of communication between the business and you.
Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors
and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as
appropriate thereafter.
Breaches of this policy
Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal
for misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and
organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
