Anti-modern slavery & human trafficking Policy
Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal and commercial gain.
Gosh! has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains. We acknowledge responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensure transparency within our organisation and with our suppliers or goods and services.
We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners. If any of our employees think they have come across an instance of modern slavery or if you are a victim yourself please follow the Whistle Blowing procedure and phone the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700 for information and guidance.
We will not support or deal with any business knowingly involved in slavery or human trafficking. Our MD will take responsibility for implementing this clause.
