MODERN SLAVERY, OUR POLICIES
Newcastle Airport Transfers supports the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and fully supports the UNGC’s Ten Principles which are based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As part of our commitment to the UNGC, we produce an annual Communication on Progress. The latest published version can be found on the website of the UNGC. Our Human Rights and Sustainability Policy makes explicit our commitment to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of our businesses or in any part of our supply chain. All suppliers to us are expected to comply with Human Rights and Sustainability Policy slavery & Human Trafficking policy, Reporting and Policies Our Ethics Policy is communicated to our employees, suppliers and contract workers which encourages individuals to report any wrongdoing which extends to human rights violations like slavery and human trafficking. All reports are fully investigated and appropriate remedial actions taken when warranted. Our Integrity Helpline is available for individuals to raise concerns or report any alleged wrongdoing. OUR SUPPLY CHAINS We are committed to providing safe, quality products and services. It is our goal to work collaboratively with our suppliers to exceed our customers’ increasing expectations, achieving outstanding performance through best in class products, services and processes. We expect our suppliers to conduct their operations in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, aligning with our values and ethics policy. We understand that our biggest exposure to slavery and human trafficking is in our supply chain. We have a Global Supplier Standards Manual which is applicable on a global basis to all suppliers and prohibits the use of forced, bonded, indentured, involuntary prison or slave labour, and requires suppliers to comply with anti-slavery, labour and wage laws. Johnson Controls’ global standard contract terms contain a clause by which suppliers commit to adhere to our Ethics Policy and Human Rights and Sustainability Policy. Environmental Performance and Sustainability information is gathered through the Johnson Controls Supplier Sustainability Rating Survey, the Supplier Assessment Survey, and other means. Any major supplier providing products and services is expected to complete these self-surveys. These surveys are used to evaluate suppliers, communicate our expectations, and ensure suppliers' compliance with applicable laws, including laws on forced labour. TRAINING As an enhancement to our employee annual ethics training, we develop and implemented a training module as required which enables employees to spot and respond to the signs of slavery and human trafficking and allows employees to anonymously report any suspected violations. We continue to improve our sourcing processes, benchmark our standards and audit our approach against regulatory requirements and available guidance
