We understand that modern slavery, which encompasses forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation, remains a serious issue that affects businesses and communities globally. As part of our ongoing responsibility, TPN is dedicated to preventing any form of modern slavery or human trafficking within our business operations and our supply chain.

Understanding the Modern Slavery Act 2015

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 is a key piece of legislation in the UK that aims to combat modern slavery in all its forms. The Act imposes an obligation on businesses and organisations to be transparent about their efforts to identify and eliminate slavery and human trafficking within their operations and supply chains.

The key elements of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 include:

1. Slavery and Trafficking Statement: Businesses with a turnover of £36 million or more must produce an annual statement outlining the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within their organisation and supply chain.

2. Transparency in Supply Chains: Organisations are required to disclose the risks of slavery and human trafficking within their supply chains and outline the measures they have taken to address these risks.

3. Due Diligence: Businesses must take appropriate steps to ensure that they are not complicit in any form of modern slavery, both within their direct operations and among their suppliers.

4. Provision of Support: Victims of modern slavery should receive support, care, and assistance, with businesses encouraged to work with law enforcement and other agencies to combat human trafficking.

Our Commitment

At TPN, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chain. We take a proactive approach to identify and mitigate any risks related to modern slavery, and we ensure that this commitment is reflected in our business practices, contracts, and relationships with suppliers.

We conduct regular reviews of our operations and supply chains, ensuring that all suppliers meet the same high standards. This includes a comprehensive vetting process for new suppliers and ongoing monitoring of existing supplier relationships to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking policies.

We are dedicated to working collaboratively with our staff, suppliers, and stakeholders to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. This reflects our broader commitment to protecting people, ensuring fairness, and making a positive impact on society.

Through adherence to the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we continue to align our operations with our core values of respect, fairness, and transparency, contributing to a world free from exploitation and abuse.
