Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It is important that modern slavery can be identified as it operates in a variety of forms including: child labour, slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. The result is deprivation of rights, dignity, and personal liberty on a victim by another for personal or commercial gain. 

  

Interpolitan Money has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking and maintains commitment to acting with the utmost integrity on this issue. Commitment to enforcing effective measures to identify modern slavery in the group’s business dealings and external relationships is present.

The group zero tolerance approach to modern slavery is communicated to suppliers and business partners at the point of agreement and reiterated throughout. 

  

Due Diligence and Supply Chain Strategy 

In order to identify and minimise the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in the group’s supply chains, the group has adopted due diligence processes to take proactive action in the event of any suspected cases of modern slavery/breaches of the Act. 

These are: 

  

A. To undertake risk assessments of suppliers to identify red flags in respect to the Act. 

 

B. To undertake appropriate levels of due diligence in preparation for agreeing new business partner relationships. 

  

C. To undertake where possible the origin of the goods/services supplied through the supply chains, in particular to the geographic origins to assess the risk level. 

  

D. To undertake appropriate audits of the suppliers to observe unusual changes that align to the aforementioned. 

  

Risk and Compliance 

Employees of Interpolitan Money are aware of the group’s stance and enforcement of this statement and consider modern slavery in their decision making. The group does not have presence in such high-risk areas to raise issues because the group has a high level of integrity valued by professional clients and suppliers. Observance of this statement is undertaken by the board in all changes and growth in the group. 

  

Any cases of modern slavery or breaches of the Act discovered by Interpolitan Money will result in the relationships being terminated and investigated appropriately.
