Modern Slavery
Habitat for Humanity Great Britain is committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation in all areas of our work.
We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to ensure that modern slavery does not take place within our organisation, our operations or our supply chains.
Our approach
We take steps to identify and manage the risks of modern slavery through our policies, procurement processes and relationships with suppliers and partners.
We expect our suppliers, contractors and partners to uphold appropriate standards of ethical and responsible behaviour and to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
We are committed to:
- treating everyone with dignity and respect
- working with responsible suppliers and partners
- considering modern slavery risks when engaging suppliers and contractors
- raising awareness of modern slavery among relevant staff
- taking appropriate action if concerns or potential cases are identified
- continually reviewing and strengthening our approach.
Reporting concerns
We encourage anyone working with or for Habitat for Humanity Great Britain to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation.
If you have a concern, please contact us at hello@habitatforhumanity.org.uk.
We will take concerns seriously and consider appropriate action to protect people from harm and address any identified risks.
Our commitment
We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires ongoing attention and continuous improvement. We will continue to review our policies, practices and supply chains to identify and address potential risks.
Our approach reflects our wider commitment to creating a world where everyone has a decent place to live and where people are treated with dignity and respect.
