MODERN SLAVERY

Modern Slavery Statement

Gorge Fabrications Ltd 2022

Introduction We do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in our organisation or in our supply chain. This statement is made pursuant to Section 54, Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps the Company has taken to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in our supply chains or in any part of our business. Our Supply Chain We have extensive experience of working in both the public and private sectors and have embraced the changing world of construction procurement and committed ourselves to developing long term relationships with our sub-contractors and suppliers. Our Policies on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Our opposition to modern slavery and human trafficking reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to eliminate, as far as possible, the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking taking place anywhere in our business or supply chain. Due Diligence Processes for Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Our initiatives to identify and mitigate the risk of human slavery and human trafficking in our business include: Our recruitment processes are transparent and reviewed regularly. We communicate directly with candidates to discuss job opportunities and to confirm the details of any offer made. We have robust procedures in place for the vetting of new employees and ensure that we are able to confirm their identities and that they are paid directly into an appropriate, personal bank account. Gorge requires that our supply chain members complete a detailed pre-qualification questionnaire approval process that requires them to take steps to eliminate slavery in their own business and supply chain. We are committed to providing modern slavery training for our staff and agency labour suppliers to highlight the issues around modern slavery. We encourage anyone (including employees, sub-contractors, suppliers and clients) to report in good faith (confidentially if they wish) any issues or concerns about potential ethics, human rights, legal or regulatory violations, including improper or unethical business practices such as fraud or bribery. Effectiveness of our Due Diligence Processes Our business teams are involved in ensuring these processes work effectively and will monitor it regularly, adapting as necessary to the changing needs of our business. There have been no reported cases of modern slavery with the business or our supply chain.
