Purpose
The term modern slavery encompasses human traffcking; forced work through mental or physical threat; people being treated as a commodity to be bought or sold, and people being physically constrained or having restrictions placed on freedom of movement. It is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.
The purpose of this policy is to outline Pulsar Group Plc (formerly Access Intelligence) and its subsidiaries (including its subsidiaries operating the Isentia, Pulsar and Vuelio brands globally) (Pulsar Group) commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships and to implement effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place in its business or its supply chain.
Scope
This policy applies to everyone working for the Pulsar Group or on its behalf in any capacity across its global business, including team members at all levels, directors, offcers, employees, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives and business partners. This policy does not form part of any team member's contract of employment and it may be amended at any time.
Statement of Commitments
The Pulsar Group is committed to:
- supporting the objectives of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in the UK and similar legislation in all other countries in which it or its suppliers operate;
- ensuring there is transparency in its own business and that no labour used directly in the provision of services to clients of the Pulsar Group is obtained by means of slavery or human traffcking;
