The Modern Slavery Act 2015 prohibits slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking. Waterlevel Limited (4753001) and its subsidiaries is committed to the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the abolition of modern slavery and human trafficking.
Although we are not required to publish a statement under the current guidance, we have prepared this statement to demonstrate our commitment to the principles of the Act and our people.
This statement details the steps taken by Waterlevel to deal with modern slavery risks in our supply chains and in our own business.
Organisation structure
Waterlevel has long been and remains at the forefront of sustainable environmental services and is currently focussed on developing nature-based markets, enhancing resilience to extreme drought events and providing regulated water services through its wholly owned subsidiary, Albion Eco (07753415).
Our supply chain
We do not enter into business with any organisation, in the UK or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to be involved in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour.
Our supply chains are limited, and we procure goods and services from a restricted range of UK and overseas suppliers. We assess our providers, consultants and stakeholders for risks.
Company Policies and Processes
The principles of the Act are embedded in our internal policies and procedures, including our whistleblowing and anti-bribery policies.
As an equal opportunities employer, we’re committed to creating and ensuring a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment for our staff. We want all our staff to feel confident that they can expose wrongdoing without any risk to themselves.
Our recruitment and people management processes are designed to ensure that all prospective employees are legally entitled to work in the UK and to safeguard employees from any abuse or coercion. Those involved in the recruitment and/or procurement processes are aware of the commitments to these principles and their practical applications.
Staff are required to be familiar with all company policies and are encouraged to raise any concerns and questions. The Company is committed to investigating any concerns raised and to taking action in a timely manner.
Risk Assessment
Due to the nature of our business, we assess ourselves to have a low risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
Training
Our Modern Slavery statement is part of the company’s policies and procedures which are included in the induction process for new staff. It is available on our company systems for all staff to refer to.
We publish our statement on our website.
This statement is approved by the Board and signed by:
David Knaggs
Managing Director
This statement will be reviewed annually.
