Eliminating modern slavery
The elimination of modern slavery must be a key priority for all organisations across the world. It remains a key priority for Eumar Technology and Ubersorb, our sister company, to play our part to help eradicate this horrendous practice.
- We work with 100% of our suppliers to ensure they adhere to our modern slavery policy and anti-slavery approach.
- We continue to monitor practice from our suppliers to reassure ourselves of their adherence
- Educate our staff and suppliers to recognise the signs of modern slavery should it be experienced outside of the Eumar Technology environment.
Our modern slavery policy can be found below.
