This statement is made pursuant to the Modem Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps that C-VIGIL Ltd : marine (CVM) has taken and is continuing to take to ensure that modem slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chain.

Modem slavery encompasses slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour. C-VIGIL Ltd : marine (CVM) has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modem slavery. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity and transparency in all business dealings and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking place within the business or our supply chain.  

The main area of risk with respect to slavery and trafficking is through our supply chain. We try to ensure that all our regular suppliers are committed to ensuring that their supply chain does not tolerate any forms of slavery or human trafficking. When sourcing materials and equipment we endeavour to use suppliers’, who have stated their commitment to and have the same approach as C-VIGIL Ltd : marine (CVM) to this unacceptable practice.

This policy sets out our stance on modem slavery and demonstrates our commitment to ensure there is no presence of it in our business operations. It identifies the need for due diligence during recruitment and encourages our employees to identify any concerns they may have on this subject confidentially. It also shows our level of scrutiny when dealing with suppliers whether that be in the form of materials or provision of services. We will not knowingly support or deal with any business involved in slavery or human trafficking.

As part of our QA procedures C-VIGIL Ltd : marine (CVM) maintains a preferred supplier list. We try to ensure that our suppliers have subsequent anti-slavery policies, which they in turn ensure their suppliers conform to, before they become a preferred supplier.
