MODERN SLAVERY ACT 2015


TOWER TRANSIT’S POLICY ON THE PREVENTION OF SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Tower Transit are committed to ethical dealings and the highest standard of business conduct with its customers, suppliers, employees and the communities wherever they operate around the world. Tower Transit finds it wholly unacceptable that there is an estimated 21 million people worldwide who are victims of forced labour, of which an estimated 5.5 million are children.

In accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, Tower Transit outline below its efforts to ensure the eradication of slavery, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking from our supply chains and business operations.

Tower Transit desires that each and every one of its suppliers conduct business in a lawful and ethical manner, including business practices that prevent slavery and human trafficking in its own supply chain. Tower Transit selects it suppliers and business partners carefully. Should any selected supplier not attain the standards that Tower Transit expects we will not do business with them.

HOW WE ARE ASSESSING AND MANAGING RISK

While the large majority of Tower Transit’s supply chain is not at risk of slavery and human trafficking taking place, Tower Transit takes steps to assess and manage such risks by aiming to only use suppliers who share Tower Transit’s commitment to ensure the absence of slavery and human trafficking in its supply chain.

Tower Transit will always seek to reserve the right for itself or through third party auditors, to conduct, or have conducted on its behalf, audits of business practices to check suppliers’ commitments. Suppliers that fail to meet Tower Transit’s standards will be removed from Tower Transit’s supply chain.

TRAINING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Tower Transit shall post this policy in all its locations in order to inform its management and employees of the issues on slavery and human trafficking so they can mitigate any risk, and ensure that in the unlikely event that any is discovered in our supply chain that it is reported without delay.

TOWER TRANSIT’S GROUP COMMITMENT

Tower Transit Group Ltd is the parent company of a group of companies mainly concerned with providing transport services in the UK and Singapore. That group of companies is referred to in this statement as “Tower Transit”.
