Policy Statement



Policy Statement

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It can take various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.


Genistar Limited (otherwise referred to as “Genistar”, “we”, “our” or “us”) have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our partner businesses.


This policy applies to all people working for Genistar or on its behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, company representatives, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners.


This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment or a company representative contract and we may amend it at any time.


Responsibility for the policy

The Business Integrity Department at Genistar has overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it.


The Business Integrity Department has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, dealing with any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure they are effective in countering modern slavery.


Management at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy and are given adequate and regular training on it and the issue of modern slavery in supply chains.


Compliance with the policy

You must ensure that you read, understand and comply with this policy.


The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. You are required to avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy.


You must inform the Business Integrity Department as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future.


You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or any business partner without the threat of adverse consequences to your career.


If you are unsure about whether a particular action, the treatment of workers more generally, or their working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitutes any of the various forms of modern slavery, raise it with the Business Integrity Department.


We aim to encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken.


We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery of whatever form is or may be taking place in any part of our own business or in any of our supply chains. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats or other unfavourable treatment connected with raising a concern.


Communication and awareness of this policy

Training on this policy, and on the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains, forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us, and regular training will be provided as necessary.


Genistar’s zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our business and supply chains must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them, primarily through reference to our website where this policy is set out.


Breaches of this policy

Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct.


We may terminate our relationship with other individuals, company representatives and organisations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.


Any individual who does not understand the implications of this policy or how it may apply to them, should seek advice from the Business Integrity Department by sending an email to business.integrity@genistar.net.
