Occupating Ltd (“Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Policy outlines our approach to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our business or our supply chains.

Our Commitment

We uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and are dedicated to ensuring that our operations and those of our suppliers are free from modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment is integral to our values and business practices.

Scope

This policy applies to all employees, officers, directors, agents, and suppliers of Occupating Ltd across all our websites, including occupatinghq.com, occupating.com, and other extensions. It covers our entire supply chain, regardless of location.

Understanding Modern Slavery

Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking. It involves the exploitation of individuals through coercion, deception, or abuse of power for personal or commercial gain.

Preventing Modern Slavery

To prevent modern slavery, we have implemented the following measures:

  1. Supplier Due Diligence: We conduct thorough due diligence on our suppliers to ensure they adhere to ethical labor practices. This includes assessing their policies, practices, and compliance with relevant laws.
  2. Code of Conduct: All suppliers are required to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which prohibits the use of forced labor, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation.
  3. Training and Awareness: We provide regular training to our employees to recognize and report signs of modern slavery. Awareness programs are conducted to ensure everyone understands their role in combating modern slavery.
  4. Risk Assessment: We regularly assess and monitor the risks of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains. High-risk areas are identified, and appropriate measures are implemented to mitigate these risks.

Reporting and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees and stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery. Reports can be made confidentially through our designated channels:

We ensure that all reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our policies and practices to combat modern slavery. This includes regular reviews of our Modern Slavery Policy, updating our procedures as necessary, and staying informed about best practices and legal requirements.

Monitoring and Review

This policy is reviewed annually to ensure its effectiveness and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and other relevant legislation. Feedback from employees, suppliers, and stakeholders is considered to enhance our approach to preventing modern slavery.
