Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and outlines the steps that Greenplace Healthcare Ltd has taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its operations and supply chains. It reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, and to ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place within our business or supply chains.

​

1. Introduction

Greenplace Healthcare Ltd is committed to the highest ethical standards and has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. We recognise the need to ensure that our business operations and supply chains are free from exploitation and that we take all reasonable steps to protect the rights and dignity of every individual we engage with, both directly and indirectly.

This statement outlines the actions we have taken to identify and mitigate the risks of modern slavery in our business activities, and it applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other third parties with whom we work.

​

2. Our Business and Supply Chains

Greenplace Healthcare Ltd is a healthcare provider that offers patient transport, specialist medical logistics, home to school transport, and cryo shipping services. We work with a wide range of suppliers and partners in various sectors.These suppliers and partners are critical to the delivery of our services and products.

​

We understand that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking, and we are committed to ensuring that all parties in our supply chains adhere to the same ethical standards that we uphold within our own organisation.

​

3. Our Policies and Procedures

We have implemented a number of internal policies and procedures to prevent modern slavery within our organisation and supply chains:

​

• Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy: This policy sets out our commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking and provides clear guidance on the steps employees should take if they suspect or identify any instances of exploitation.

• Supplier Code of Conduct: All suppliers are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines the ethical standards and human rights practices that we expect from our business partners. This includes a clear prohibition on modern slavery, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking.

• Due Diligence and Risk Assessment: As part of our due diligence process, we conduct regular assessments of the risks of modern slavery in our supply chains. This includes reviewing suppliers' practices, monitoring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and investigating any potential concerns that arise.

• Training and Awareness: We provide regular training for our employees, especially those in procurement and senior management roles, to help them identify the signs of modern slavery and understand the procedures for reporting concerns. We also encourage an open and transparent culture where employees and third parties feel comfortable raising any issues.

4. Due Diligence and Risk Management

We recognise that modern slavery risks may exist in some parts of our supply chain, especially in industries where low wages or vulnerable workers are more common. To mitigate these risks, we:

• Assess suppliers and contractors based on their commitment to ethical practices, including modern slavery prevention.

• Require all new suppliers to complete a comprehensive risk assessment questionnaire that includes questions on modern slavery practices, policies, and the steps they take to mitigate risk in their operations.

• Work with high-risk suppliers to improve their practices and ensure compliance with our anti-slavery standards.

• Take immediate action to address any identified risks, including terminating relationships with suppliers that do not meet our ethical standards.

5. Performance and Monitoring

We continually monitor the effectiveness of our efforts to combat modern slavery and human trafficking. This is done through:

• Regular audits and reviews of supplier performance and compliance with our anti-slavery policies.

• Employee feedback mechanisms that allow for anonymous reporting of any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices.

• Review of contracts to ensure that clauses related to modern slavery and human trafficking are included, and that we can take appropriate action if issues arise.

We also measure our progress by tracking key metrics, such as the number of suppliers that have completed risk assessments and the number of reported incidents or concerns related to modern slavery.

6. Our Commitment to Action

Greenplace Healthcare Ltd is fully committed to eliminating modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to work closely with our suppliers, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure that human rights are upheld throughout our supply chain. Our efforts will evolve as new challenges and risks emerge, and we will strive to continuously improve our processes and practices.

We are committed to working collaboratively with other organisations, industry groups, and authorities to combat modern slavery on a broader scale, and we pledge to report any concerns or violations to the appropriate authorities.

7. Approval

This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Greenplace Healthcare Ltd and will be reviewed annually. It is available on our website and can be accessed by all stakeholders, including employees, suppliers, and the general public.
