The Modern Slavery Act 2015 has been enacted to address certain Human Rights and makes it an offence for any company to exploit others in the execution of their business. The Act also places a responsibility upon purchasers to, as far as reasonably possible, ensure their suppliers do not contravene Human Rights.
The major areas addressed within the Act relate to slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour, or being involved in any way with Human Trafficking with a view to being exploited.
The offences are set out in section 1 and section 2 of the Act on the UK legislation website.
Linnet Technology does not come under the requirements for compliance of this Act as defined within legislation. However, Linnet management will always endeavour to meet the spirit of the Act by ensuring its own employees are fully compliant and, as far as reasonably practical, that our suppliers also meet its terms.
