At Alexander JLO, we are committed to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that our business operations and supply chains are free from any form of forced labour, slavery or human trafficking.

Our Approach:

1. Policies and Procedures: We have implemented robust policies and procedures to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation. These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure their effectiveness.

2. Supply Chain Due Diligence: We conduct thorough due diligence on our suppliers and business partners to assess the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical practices and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

3. Employee Awareness and Training: We provide regular training to our employees to raise awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking. This training equips them with the knowledge and tools to identify and report any potential instances of exploitation.

4. Reporting Mechanisms: We have established confidential reporting mechanisms to encourage employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions related to modern slavery. We take all reports seriously and investigate them promptly and thoroughly.

5. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our practices to combat modern slavery. We engage with industry initiatives, collaborate with stakeholders and stay updated on best practices to ensure that our efforts remain effective.
