Anti Modern Slavery Policy

Modern slavery is against the law and a violation of basic human rights. With a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, Laguna is dedicated to acting morally and implementing efficient processes and controls to make sure that it never occurs within our own company or any of our supply networks. 

 

As part of our contracting procedures, we demand the same high standards from all of our suppliers, contractors, and other business partners. All individuals working for us or representing us in any capacity, including employees at all levels, are subject to the terms and conditions of this policy. This policy is not included in any employee's employment contract, and we reserve the right to make changes.

It is the duty of management at all levels to ensure that those under their supervision understand this policy, abide by it, and get proper and ongoing training on it.

You must ensure that you read, understand, and adhere with this policy. 

All individuals working for us or under our authority are accountable for the prevention, detection, and reporting of modern slavery in any aspect of our business or supply networks.

If you believe or suspect that a discrepancy with this policy has occurred or may occur in the future, you must contact your line manager immediately. 

You are urged to voice any issues or suspicions of modern slavery as soon as possible in any area of our business or supply chains.

We will support and advise our suppliers to help them address coercive, abusive, and exploitative labour practises in their own businesses and supply chains, and where appropriate, with the welfare and safety of local workers as a priority. 

Ask your line manager or the business director if you have any questions about whether a specific action, the treatment of employees generally, or their working circumstances inside any level of our supply chains fall under one of the different categories of modern slavery.

We want to promote openness and will assist anyone who, in accordance with our policy, expresses sincere concerns in good faith, even if such suspicions turn out to be incorrect. We are committed to making sure that no one experiences any negative treatment as a result of reporting their due diligence that modern slavery, in whatever form, may exist in any area of our own company. 

Dismissal, reprimands, threats, or other unfavourable treatment because of voicing a concern are all considered as forms of negative treatment.
