MODERN SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This statement is made on behalf of SBE Electrical Engineers and Contractors and relates to The Modern Slavery Act 2015 for our financial year ending 31 May 2017. SBE has a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery of any kind within our operations and supply chain.  We all have a responsibility to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in the wider supply chain.  Our employees are encouraged to report concerns and management are expected to investigate, and where necessary act upon these concerns.

OUR BUSINESS AND SUPPLY CHAIN

SBE Electrical Engineers & Contractors Ltd has been established since 2012. We are one of the North Wests fastest growing privately owned Electrical engineering and contracting companies, ensuring we are responsive to our clients needs. We operate throughout the United Kingdom delivering a comprehensive electrical contracting service.

Sustainable and ethical principles are increasingly important to us, and this is reflected in our supply chain. Our products and services are primarily sourced via UK providers.  The majority of our supplier spend is managed and procured at a local level. We expect our supply chain partners to share our intolerance on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

POLICIES AND CONTRACTUAL CONTROLS

Relevant internal policies include Health & Safety, Equal Opportunities, Sustainability, Bullying and Harassment amongst others and provide a means of raising concerns without fear of reprisal.  Our management ensures that we can directly implement our policies and procedures, conduct appropriate training and monitor compliance.

FURTHER STEPS

Our objective is to ensure our supply chain meets these expectations:  

• Employment is freely chosen
• Freedom of association and right to collectively bargaining respected
• Working conditions are safe and hygienic
• Child labour shall not be used
• Working hours are not excessive
• No discrimination is practiced
• No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed
• Workers must not pay deposits for work
• Employers must not keep originals of identity documents

ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS IN PREVENTING MODERN SLAVERY  

We understand that Modern Slavery risk is not static and will continue to mitigate this risk on an on-going basis.

In addition we will review and assess the effectiveness of our policies annually and take appropriate action, if required.

Areas for consideration:

• Employee training levels
• Supply chain communication and auditing
• Investigations into reports of Modern Slavery and remedial actions taken

This statement is made in accordance with Section 54 (1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 for the financial year from 10 January 2017
