Modern Slavery Statement
Our business and supply chains
Travelpack is an established Business Travel Management company employing over 55 staff. We are committed to promoting transparency within our supply chains and have begun implementing a programme of measures designed to identify, assess, and mitigate the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking.
We maintain an open dialogue with our suppliers and work collaboratively with them to ensure effective preventative measures are in place. Over time, we will continue to strengthen these relationships by seeking formal confirmations and assurances, ensuring that our supply chains remain free from exploitation and aligned with our ethical values.
Supporting Policies
Travelpack has in place the following policies reflecting its commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships:
- Anti Bribery Policy;
- Equality and Diversity Policy;
- Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblowing) Policy.
Due diligence processes for slavery and human trafficking
As part of Travelpack’s initiative to identify and mitigate slavery and human trafficking, systems will:
- Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains;
- Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains;
- Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chains;
- Provide staff with training to assist them in understanding the risks of slavery and human trafficking ensuring a defined team is in place to monitor this at all times.
We will assess and monitor any risks through our risk register.
Risk Assessment and Management
To ensure supplier adherence to our values, Travelpack has a zero tolerance approach to slavery and human trafficking and it expects it suppliers and contractors to uphold the same values. It will not conduct business knowingly with anyone engaged in slavery and human trafficking practices or knowingly permit them to be carried out in any part of its business. We are adapting our standard supplier terms and conditions to include applicable anti-slavery provisions and will look to secure similar protection in all relevant supply arrangements when dealing with those in the UK and externally.
