We have appropriate policies in place that underpin our commitment to ensure that there is no modern slavery or human trafficking in our supply chains or in any part of our business. We continuously review and update all our policies. These include:
- Whistleblowing Policy: All employees have the right (and responsibility) to alert the Company if they become aware of another employee who is doing something that is illegal, in breach of regulation or other serious form of misconduct or dishonesty.
- Business Ethics Policy: Employees actions must be legal and consistent with the Company’s policies and values.

Our due diligence procedures aim to:
- Identify and action potential risks in our business and supply chains
- Monitor potential risks in our business and supply chains
- Reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business and supply chains and provide protection for whistleblowers.
Risk assessment and management
Employees and contractors are engaged in accordance with local laws and regulations and fibranode has zero tolerance to slavery and human trafficking.
fibranodes’ business and supply chain is assessed as having no or negligible risk of slavery and human trafficking. We do not consider that we operate in a high-risk environment because the majority of our supply chain is based in Europe and in low-risk industries. Accordingly, it is not considered necessary to take any further steps by way of elimination or risk management.
Key performance indicators to measure effectiveness of steps being taken.
It continues to be a priority for fibranode to ensure that we trade ethically, source responsibly and work to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our organisation and in our supply chain.
