Modern Slavery

Modern Slavery Act 2018/19

This statement sets out the steps that we have taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking is not taking place within our organisations or our supply chains. This statement is made pursuant to section 54 (1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act.

This includes supporting and respecting internationally proclaimed human rights (Principle 1) and the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour (Principle 4). We also seek to promote Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.7 in relation to the eradication of forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking.

We endeavour to conduct our business in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We advise and encourage our commercial clients to anticipate, prevent, monitor, mitigate and remedy human rights and labour rights in their businesses and supply chains.

Human rights policy: we recognise that we have a responsibility to respect internationally recognised human rights and we seek to conduct our activities in a manner that respects and supports the protection of human rights.

International standards of conduct: sets out how we agree to conduct ourselves providing a framework to guide our actions, support our culture, promote our values, encourage appropriate behaviour and build trust in each other. This includes making continuous efforts to ensure that our supply chain is free from modern slavery and human trafficking. The Standards apply to all our people including partners, employees and contractors, in all roles across the business.

Responsible procurement policy: this policy applies to all purchases of goods or services that are made by or on behalf of pampeano and sets out the rules and standards to which we expect each of our suppliers to adhere. These standards include avoiding, causing or contributing to adverse human rights impacts.

Procurement compliance standards: this complements the Responsible Procurement Policy and sets out our expectations of suppliers. These are issued to new and existing key suppliers.

Anti-money laundering: our robust anti-money laundering regime applies to all our people at pampeano and sets out a series of policies and procedures that must be followed that are designed to prevent the commission of financial crime and the movement of money which has derived from crime (including crimes relating to modern slavery).

Anti-bribery and corruption: this applies to all partners, consultants, contractors and employees of the business, as well as associated third parties such as suppliers, and sets out rules with regard to bribery and corruption.

Diversity & inclusion policy: we recognise and value the differences that make each of us unique. We are not limited to our approach to diversity and have a range of initiatives encompassing gender, race, age, religion and belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and social mobility. We are passionate that all people should feel empowered and be respected.
