DOMINO COMMERCIAL INTERIORS LTD Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy 

1. Policy Statement 

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labor, and human trafficking, all of which involve the deprivation of a person's liberty by another in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We implement and enforce effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery does not occur within our business or any of our supply chains. 

 

We are dedicated to ensuring transparency in our business operations and in our efforts to tackle modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers, and other business partners. As part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory, or trafficked labor, or any individuals held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. We expect our suppliers to uphold these standards with their own suppliers. 

 

This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives, and business partners. This policy does not form part of any employee's contract of employment, and we may amend it at any time. 

 

2. Responsibility for the Policy 

The Managing Director holds overall responsibility for ensuring this policy complies with our legal and ethical obligations, and that all those under our control comply with it. The Managing Director also has primary and day-to-day responsibility for implementing this policy, monitoring its use and effectiveness, addressing any queries about it, and auditing internal control systems and procedures to ensure their effectiveness in countering modern slavery. 

 

Line managers at all levels are responsible for ensuring those reporting to them understand and comply with this policy. They must also provide adequate and regular training on this policy and the issue of modern slavery in supply chains. 

 

We invite comments and suggestions on this policy. Any feedback should be directed to the person responsible for this policy. 

 

3. Compliance with the Policy 

You must ensure that you read, understand, and comply with this policy. Preventing, detecting, and reporting modern slavery in any part of our business or supply chains is the responsibility of all those working for us or under our control. You must avoid any activity that might lead to or suggest a breach of this policy. 

 

Notify your manager as soon as possible if you believe or suspect that a conflict with this policy has occurred, or may occur in the future. Raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of modern slavery in any parts of our business or supply chains of any supplier tier at the earliest possible stage. 

 

If you believe or suspect a breach of this policy has occurred, or that it may occur, notify your manager or report it in accordance with our Whistleblowing Policy as soon as possible. If you are unsure about whether a particular act, treatment of workers, or their working conditions within any tier of our supply chains constitutes any form of modern slavery, consult with your manager or Head of Procurement. 

 

We encourage openness and will support anyone who raises genuine concerns in good faith under this policy, even if they turn out to be mistaken. We are committed to ensuring no one suffers any detrimental treatment as a result of reporting in good faith their suspicion that modern slavery is or may be taking place in any part of our business or supply chains. Detrimental treatment includes dismissal, disciplinary action, threats, or other unfavorable treatment connected with raising a concern. If you believe you have suffered such treatment, inform the Head of Procurement immediately. If the matter is not resolved, and you are an employee, raise it formally using our Grievance Procedure. 

 

4. Communication and Awareness of This Policy 

Training on this policy and on the risks our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains forms part of the induction process for all individuals who work for us. Regular training will be provided as necessary. Our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery must be communicated to all suppliers, contractors, and business partners at the outset of our business relationship with them and reinforced as appropriate thereafter. 

 

5. Breaches of This Policy 

Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for misconduct or gross misconduct. We may terminate our relationship with other individuals and organizations working on our behalf if they breach this policy.
