At Life 4 Leads Ltd, we recognize modern slavery as a criminal act and a violation of essential human rights. We acknowledge its diverse manifestations, encompassing slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking. These forms all share the commonality of depriving individuals of their freedom to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
Our commitment at Life 4 Leads Ltd is unwavering in our stance against modern slavery. We pledge to conduct our business ethically and integrity, establishing robust systems and controls to prevent modern slavery within our organization and supply chains.
Transparency is a cornerstone of our approach, aligning with disclosure requirements outlined in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We extend our high standards to contractors, suppliers, and business partners, explicitly prohibiting forced, compulsory, or trafficked labor in our contractual agreements. We anticipate our suppliers to uphold these standards with their suppliers.
This policy encompasses all individuals associated with Life 4 Leads Ltd, including employees, directors, officers, agency workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives, and business partners. It is important to note that this policy is not a contractual part of employment and may be subject to amendments at any time.
