Nicholson & Saville opposes exploitative practices that violate an individual’s human rights in all forms and recognises the persistence of contemporary forms of slavery.
What It Means
Modern slavery may include:
Slavery
Servitude
Debt bondage or bonded labour
The worst forms of child labour
Deceptive recruiting for labour or services
Forced marriage
Australia introduced specific modern slavery legislation in 2018. In response to that legislation, Nicholson & Saville has developed a Modern Slavery Policy.
Nicholson & Saville’s Modern Slavery Policy is an important ingredient in our governance and risk management framework. It offers guidance in relation to the recognised forms of modern slavery that persist in contemporary society and sets out some of the actions which Nicholson & Saville may take to identify and manage modern slavery risks relevant to our operations.
The Modern Slavery Policy provides a reporting mechanism which allows persons internal or external to Nicholson & Saville to report genuine concerns about potential, suspected or actual instances of modern slavery affecting our operations or supply chains.
Nicholson & Saville is committed to ensuring any modern slavery concerns are dealt with appropriately.
