Modern Slavery & human Trafficking Statement
Introduction
Acuro Associates Ltd (Acuro), recognises that all businesses have an obligation to prevent slavery and human trafficking and will do all in its power to prevent slavery and human trafficking within its business and within the supply chains through which it operates.
Modern slavery can take many forms including the trafficking of people, forced labour, and slavery. We take our responsibility for supplying staff extremely seriously and are aware of the potential for being targeted by traffickers and unlicensed gangmasters. We remain alert to the signs of exploitation, in order that we may take the necessary action promptly and effectively should it be identified. Although Acuro primarily operates within the Information Technology marketplace, we recognise that other sectors that could be affected include, but are not limited to, construction & property, engineering & manufacturing, and health & social care.
This statement focuses specifically on Acuro’s compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (the Act) and highlights the steps we take to ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking occurring within the organisation or its supply chains. One of our Company’s most valuable assets has always been its reputation for integrity and fairness. Maintaining this reputation within our market is a cornerstone of everything we do.
