Services and supply
Our stance on human rights at Jordec is unequivocal and outlined in our longstanding Ethical Business Practices Policy. Furthermore, our Code of Conduct explicitly addresses the issue. We uphold the human rights of all our employees and individuals within our supply chain, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach towards slavery and human trafficking.
Our commitment to ensuring that slavery, trafficking, bonded labor, forced or servile marriage, descent-based slavery, and domestic work and slavery do not occur in our business or supply chain is unwavering. To achieve this, we undertake the following measures:
- Ensure transparent and regularly reviewed recruitment processes with robust vetting procedures for appointing personnel.
- Raise awareness of modern slavery among our employees and suppliers to combat its hidden nature.
- Challenge and support our suppliers in eliminating modern slavery and human trafficking.
- Apply both the spirit and the letter of the law to our internal practices.
During the financial year ending June 31, 2024, Jordec Business Services Ltd has taken steps to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
Jordec is a leading facilities management and professional services company, serving a diverse customer base across various sectors. We employ people and operate in the UK, and Republic of Ireland.
Our supply chain primarily consists of skilled technical contractors and trades, with occasional use of temporary labor in specific areas. We expect suppliers to adhere to high standards similar to those we uphold in our business.
Jordec has established a set of policies and procedures to minimise the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our operations. These include our Ethical Business Practices Policy, Employee Handbook, Procurement Policy, and Whistleblowing Procedure, among others. Regular reviews ensure alignment with statutory obligations and best practices.
Employee awareness and compliance are paramount, with access to our policies and procedures provided through the Employee Handbook. We emphasise ethical stewardship and responsible business practices.
Supplier onboarding includes due diligence procedures to assess suitability and compliance with required standards. We conduct audits to ensure suppliers meet our expectations, including compliance with legal requirements and the Modern Slavery Act.
Jordec analyses its supply chain for potential risk areas and engages in ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts. We emphasise training and awareness among employees and suppliers to prevent modern slavery.
Our Whistleblowing Procedure allows individuals to report concerns of unlawful conduct, including suspected slavery or human trafficking, without fear of retaliation. We actively promote reporting mechanisms to address such issues.
This statement, as mandated by the Modern Slavery Act 2015, reflects Jordec Business Services Ltd’s commitment to combatting slavery and human trafficking and has been approved by the Board of Directors for the financial year ending June 31, 2024.
