Policy
Slavery and human trafficking (“Modern Slavery”) are crimes and a violation of human rights.
Knightsbridge Property Services has a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery – any instance of Modern Slavery in Osborne’s business or supply chain is a breach of the core values of the business.
Knightsbridge Property Services recognises that the construction industry presents a risk of Modern Slavery and also that Modern Slavery could affect our business and supply chain. Low skilled immigrant workers are particularly vulnerable. Knightsbridge Property Services therefore takes steps to reduce the risk of Modern Slavery being connected to its business or supply chain.
The following key principles apply to our business and our supply chain:
· Child labour must not be used.
· Any form of forced or compulsory labour must not be used. Workers must be free to leave employment or work after reasonable notice.
· Passports, visas and other personal documentation should not be taken from workers.
· All forms of debt bondage are prohibited. Workers should not be subject to contracts that tie them into repaying a loan, accommodation expenses or some other costs that they have no or little opportunity to repay.
· Compensation and benefits must comply with local laws relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and other benefits.
· Workers should have safe and healthy working conditions that meet or exceed applicable standards for occupational safety and health.
· On an annual basis we will publish an anti-slavery statement which will set out our approach to prevent slavery and human trafficking in connection with our business.
Proceedures
We are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery or human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains. These systems and controls include: this policy; risk assessments; a supply chain protocol; tendering assessment criteria; a whistleblowing policy; contractual controls; and induction and monitoring at sites.
Our subcontractors, consultants and suppliers are contractually required to maintain similar effective systems and controls to ensure Modern Slavery is not connected to their services to Knightsbridge Property Services.
Policy Responsibility
The Managing Director will be the lead role for the review and administration of this policy.

This Policy will be communicated to all employees and when required through Policy updates.
