Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy Statement

Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking

Kensa Group Limited recognises that modern slavery is a significant global human rights issue. This statement sets out the actions and mitigation measures we have taken and are continuing to take to ensure no form of modern slavery or human trafficking is present within our business or our supply chain. We accept our responsibility through due diligence processes to ensure that workers are not being exploited, that they are safe, and that relevant employment, health and safety, and human rights laws and standards are being adhered to, including freedom of movement and communications.
This policy applies to all individuals working for Kensa Group Limited or on the company's behalf in any capacity, including employees, directors, agency workers, contractors, consultants, and business partners.
Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, up to and including summary dismissal for gross misconduct.
We are fully committed to acting ethically and will terminate our relationship with any supply chain partner if they breach this policy and/or are found to have been involved in modern slavery.
Responsibility for implementation and monitoring lies with the HR Department, in collaboration with Supply Chain, ensuring alignment with legal obligations and ethical standards.

We recognise that working as part of the construction industry, our key risks lie within our supply chain. Our supply chain includes companies who supply materials and products, specialist trade contractors and professional
organisations who provide a range of consultancy services. To mitigate this risk, we operate an approved supplier list and conduct the relevant due diligence on all companies prior to them becoming approved. Our approval process requires our supply chain partners to have completed our pre-qualification questionnaire. The route to approval is determined by following a risk-based approach and both pathways require demonstration of adherence to the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Our internal recruitment processes are transparent and confirm an individual's Right to Work provisions. All employees are paid directly into an appropriate personal bank account.

All new starters to the business are required to read and sign adherence to this and other policies. These policies are then re-signed at regular intervals or following any significant change. All staff complete an eLearning training
module on this subject which includes a test at the end, requiring a minimum score of 60% to pass. This module and testing are repeated every year and forms part of the induction training programme for every new starter.

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and third parties to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports can be made confidentially via our Whistleblowing Policy. All reports will be investigated thoroughly and sensitively.

We operate a suite of internal policies to ensure that we are conducting business in a fair, ethical and transparent manner. These include:  Anti-Bribery Policy;  Code of Conduct Expectations;  Equal Opportunity, Dignity and Diversity Policy;  Whistleblowing Policy
