    Syamic Ltd. continues to review its whistleblowing policy and is committed to enabling people who have concerns to report them without repercussions.

    Action 3: Training

    Action 4: Safeguarding

    Syamic Ltd. continues to recognise its responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking and we acknowledge our duty to notify the Secretary of State of suspected victims of slavery or human trafficking in accordance with section 52 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Duty to Notify).

    Action 5: Procurement

    All tender documents shall include a statement requesting contractors, suppliers and partners that there is ‘no use’ either directly or by any sub-contractors or within the supply chain of:

    • child labour
    • slavery, forced, bonded or involuntary labour
    • human trafficking or exploitation.

    All tenders will continue to require contractors to provide confirmation that they are compliant with the Act, including a declaration stating, “… they are not involved in modern slavery or human trafficking and have not been subject to any investigation in connection with any offences involving slavery and human trafficking”. Syamic Ltd. will only trade with those who comply with the Act.
