Modern slavery remains a grave human rights violation that affects millions of people globally, and BUMA recognises the critical role it plays in addressing this issue. BUMA is dedicated to ensuring that its operations and supply chains are free from any form of forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation. Key highlights from our Modern Slavery Statement includes:

Policies and Procedures: establishment of policies and procedures to prevent and address modern slavery across our operations and supply chains. These guidelines ensure that all employees, contractors, and suppliers adhere to ethical standards and are educated on the importance of identifying and reporting any suspected instances of modern slavery.

Supply Chain Transparency: our commitment to maintaining transparency throughout its supply chain. We will work closely with suppliers to assess and monitor their compliance with anti-slavery measures, conducting regular audits and inspections to identify and mitigate potential risks.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence: conducting thorough risk assessments to identify high-risk areas within our supply chain, enabling targeted interventions and continuous improvement. We also implement due diligence processes to ensure that suppliers and business partners share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

Training and Awareness: recognising the importance of education and awareness in combating modern slavery. We provide comprehensive training programs to our employees, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to recognize, prevent, and address any form of exploitation.

By publishing our Modern Slavery Statement, we aim to uphold transparency and accountability within our business. We are dedicated to continuously improving our practices and we welcome feedback and suggestions from all stakeholders.

Our commitment to ethical practices extends beyond the publication of the Modern Slavery Statement. It is a fundamental part of our overarching corporate social responsibility strategy, reflecting our determination to contribute to a more equitable and just society.
