Modern Slavery Statement
This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Constant Power Solutions has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. Constant Power Solutions has a zero tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective
systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.
Our Policies
We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. All or some are available upon request.
Our Suppliers
Constant Power Solutions operates a supplier policy and maintains a preferred supplier list. We conduct due diligence on all suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred supplier. This due diligence includes an online search to ensure that particular organisation has never been convicted of offenses relating to modern slavery [and on-site audits which include a review of working conditions]. Our antislavery 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:
- They have taken steps to eradicate modern slavery within their business
- They hold their own suppliers to account over modern slavery
- (For UK-based suppliers) They pay their employees at least the national minimum wage / national living wage (as appropriate) in line with current legislation, which will be reviewed annually.
- (For international suppliers) They pay their employees any prevailing minimum wage applicable within their country of operation
- We may terminate the contract at any time should any instances of modern slavery come to light.
Training and Support
We regularly conduct training for our management and staff 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. Further to this if any person within Constant Power Solutions uncovers or discovers any contravention to this legislation then the Government helpline is: 0800 0121 700 to report such activities and for support.
