Modern Slavery Policy

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement
ADC Entrance Solutions are committed to ensuring that its staff and any workers it supplies (directly or indirectly) are not subject to behaviour or threats that may amount to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and or similar human rights abuses. We are also committed to ensuring our approach to tackling modern slavery in our own business and throughout our supply chains is consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We all have a responsibly to be alert to the risks, however small, in our business and in the wider supply chain.

This statement sets out our actions to understand all potential modern slavery risks related to the business and to ensure steps are maintained to prevent both slavery and human trafficking.

Our Business
ADC Entrance Solutions are specialists within the aluminium fenestration industry, supplying various products and installations throughout the UK. Our installations department provide qualified installers and engineers to a wide range of local authorities, NHS trusts, charities and other private sector organisations.

Our Policies
ADC Entrance Solutions’ Modern Slavery Policy, along with our Corporate Social Responsibility (P002-CO), Anti-Bribery (P011-CO) and Whistle-blowing (P005-HR) policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.

Our Processes for Managing Risk
In order to assess the risk of modern slavery, we use the following processes:

  • Identify and assess potential risk areas when considering taking on new staff and regularly review our existing employees.
  • Review the potential for risk at regular intervals, including the possibility of re-auditing a supplier or conducting spot checks.
  • Protect whistle blowers.

After due consideration, we have not identified any significant risks of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in our organisation and its supply chains. However, we continue to be alert to the potential for any future problems.

Training
To maintain awareness and ensure a high level of understanding of the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business our Modern Slavery Policy is included in our Employee Handbook.
We provide training to all members of staff, and this has been incorporated into our induction programme.

Child Labour
We require all our suppliers to adhere to standards set out by the International Labour Organisation as regards the employment of children and young people. In particular:

  • Children must not be recruited before they have reached the age of completion of compulsory schooling, and in any case not before the age of 15; and
  • Those under 18 must not be required to perform hazardous duties.
  • We will ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our business or supply chains:
  • Completion of inspections by Directors or senior management
  • Use of labour monitoring and payroll systems; and
  • Level of communication and personal contact with next link in the supply chain and their understanding of, and compliance with, our expectations.

Our Commitment
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and has been approved by the Board of Directors, who will review and update it annually.
