Policy

Introduction and Objective

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It includes slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking – all of which involve the exploitation of a person for personal or commercial gain. Perform Partners has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships.

All employees are required to complete modern slavery training to ensure they can recognise and report instances of modern slavery in and around the workplace. We are also committed to maintaining transparency in our business and our supply chains and expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers, and business partners.
