Modern Slavery Statement for financial year 2023-2024
This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that ANR has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain. Modern slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labor. ANR has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.
Our Business
We are an international family owned Construction, Engineering and Supplier services company with offices and projects in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Our Policies
We operate a number of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in an ethical and transparent manner. These include:
We are fully committed to ensuring that equal opportunities are implemented and maintained. All terms and conditions of service apply on a fair and consistent basis to every member of staff.
We operate a robust recruitment policy, including conducting checks on work eligibility for all employees to safeguard against human trafficking or individuals being forced to work against their will.
Code of Conduct. This code explains the manner in which we behave as an organisation and how we expect our employees and suppliers to act.
We do not use staff by subcontractors or suppliers, where the suppliers’ processes are not compliant.
We do not employ sub consultants, suppliers and sub-contractors, where their work practices may be non-compliant
Our Sub-contractors and Suppliers
ANR operates a supplier policy and maintains a preferred subcontractor/supplier list. To ensure all those in our supply chain and subcontractors comply with our values we conduct due diligence on all subcontractors and suppliers before allowing them to become a preferred supplier.
Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our contract with all subcontractors/suppliers and they are required to confirm that no part of their business operations contradicts this policy.
We are committed as an organisation to tackling modern slavery and human trafficking and want to work with suppliers who share our values
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 business or supply chain if:
No reports are received from employees, the public, or law enforcement agencies to indicate that modern slavery practices have been identified.
