Modern Day Slavery Policy
This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that Nymagx Energy Services Ltd has taken, and is continuing to take, to make sure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our company or supply chain during the year ending 31 March 2022.
Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour.
Nymagx Energy Services Limited has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all company dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the company or our supply chain.
Our Policy on Slavery and Human Trafficking
Nymagx is aware of our responsibilities towards residents, employees, families connected to our homes and the local community and expects all suppliers to the company to adhere to the same ethical principles. We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our company. Our internal policies replicate our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our company relationships.
We operate a number of internal policies which ensure that we are conducting company in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:
Recruitment – We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting eligibility of personnel to work on-shore and off-shore.
Equal Opportunities – We have a range of controls to protect staff from poor treatment and/or exploitation, which complies with all respective laws and regulations. These include provision of fair access to training and development opportunities, and HMO plan for personnel
Whistleblowing – We operate a whistleblowing/raising concerns policy so that everyone in our employment knows that they can raise concerns about how colleagues or people receiving in our facility are being treated, or about practices within our company or supply chain, without fear of reprisals, and the various ways in which they can raise their concerns
Employees Handbook – Our handbook explains the manner in which we behave as an organization and how we expect our employees to act
Our approach to procurement and our supply chain includes:
- Ensuring that our suppliers are carefully selected
- Requiring that the main contractor provides details of any sub-contractor(s) to enable the company to check their credentials
- Ability to request that the main contractor provide details of its supply chain
- Supplier adherence to our values. We are zero tolerant to slavery and human trafficking and thereby expect all our direct and indirect suppliers/contractors and vendors to follow suit
- Where it is verified that a subcontractor or vendor has breached the child labour laws or human trafficking, then this subcontractor will be excluded from further work with Nymagx.
Training
Advice and training about modern slavery and human trafficking is available to staff through our monthly safety meeting programmes. It is also discussed at our company safety induction training which is mandatory for all our new starters. We are looking at ways to continuously increase awareness within our organization, and to ensure a high level of understanding of the risks involved with modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains and in our company.
Our Performance Indicators
We will know the effectiveness of the steps that we are taking to ensure that slavery and/or human trafficking is not taking place within our company or supply chain if there are no reports received from our staff, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
This policy is also accessible for staff , Contractors and vendors on our intranet-website and reviewed annually.
