Modern Slavery & Ethical Trading Statement

This statement is made pursuant to Section 54(1) of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Ginnova to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, and workplace discrimination across its operations and supply chains.

Ginnova is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct. We enforce a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in all business activities and supply chains. We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners.

Ginnova operates under clear governance policies that align with UK regulatory standards, including the Equality Act 2010:

Modern Slavery & Anti-Trafficking Policy: Outlines our mandatory obligations and reporting procedures for any suspected human rights breaches.

Equal Opportunities & Diversity Policy: Guarantees fair treatment across recruitment, career progression, and working environments, preventing discrimination on the grounds of gender, age, ethnicity, or disability.

Gender Pay & Fair Reward: Committed to equal pay for equal work, maintaining fair and transparent compensation frameworks across all roles.

Whistleblowing Policy: Provides a safe, confidential mechanism for employees, contractors, and third parties to report ethical concerns without risk of retaliation.

To mitigate supply chain risks, Ginnova applies robust due diligence processes:

Supplier Vetting: Screening prospective suppliers on labour standards, health and safety, and regulatory compliance prior to onboarding.

Contractual Standards: Embedding explicit modern slavery and non-discrimination compliance clauses into supplier contracts.

Audit & Remediation: Monitoring high-risk procurement categories and reserving the right to audit or terminate agreements with suppliers who fail to meet ethical standards.

Ginnova provides relevant training to employees to ensure awareness of modern slavery risks, fair employment standards, and reporting mechanisms. We track compliance through completion of staff training, regular supplier reviews, and zero-tolerance incident logging.
