A responsible and proportionate approach
We recognise that modern slavery - including forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitative labour practices—can exist within global supply chains. As a professional services consultancy, our direct exposure is limited; however, we remain committed to taking appropriate steps to identify and mitigate risks.
Our approach is proportionate to our size and operations, with a focus on practical and meaningful actions.
Our commitments
Zero tolerance for modern slavery
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and any form of unethical labour practices within our business and supply chain.
Ethical business conduct
We operate in line with our broader governance framework, including integrity, transparency, and professional accountability in all business dealings.
Responsible procurement
We seek to engage with suppliers and partners who align with our values and demonstrate ethical practices. Where appropriate, we consider labour practices, reputation, and compliance when selecting suppliers.
Awareness and risk consideration
We recognise the importance of understanding potential risks within supply chains. We take a considered approach to identifying areas of higher risk and responding appropriately.
Embedding ethical practices
We incorporate ethical considerations into how we operate and deliver projects, including:
- Selecting reputable and trusted suppliers and partners
- Maintaining transparency in procurement and engagement processes
- Working with clients and project teams who share a commitment to responsible practices
- Encouraging ethical behaviour across all project stakeholders
Governance and accountability
Responsibility for ethical conduct and supply chain practices is embedded within our leadership and business operations. Our governance framework supports accountability, transparency, and alignment with applicable regulations.
Where required, we will align with relevant legislative frameworks, including the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 and other applicable regulations.
Continuous improvement
We recognise that addressing modern slavery risks is an ongoing process. As our business grows, we will continue to strengthen our understanding, processes, and engagement with suppliers to improve oversight and accountability.
A commitment to responsible practice
Through a considered and responsible approach, we aim to contribute to ethical supply chains, support fair labour practices, and uphold the professional standards expected of our industry.
